Do you really expect Threads to provide a fair, uncompromised experience when it's actively against their interests to do so?

If you think just linking an URL is enough to persuade people to join, either you are surrounded by exceptionally tech savvy people, or you never actually tried. Getting some people to make a Mastodon account is harder than pulling teeth.
But if they were already peeking from the window, maybe they just might.
You have a point Threads will definitely try to skew the experience in some way, but if they make it too bad, they will be the ones looking bad for it, because the average Meta user doesn't even know what the Fediverse is. So they need to show some good stuff too.
And really, I don't know who is it that y'all are imagining that dropped Facebook and Twitter for ActivityPub, but they'll jump back in as soon as they get a whiff. I actually tried Threads. It sucks. Why would folks give up on the Fediverse for it?
