This is completely false.

It’s absolutely not.

The entire reason they’re federating is to instantly get access to a much larger pool of UGC for their users to interact with

Are you going to explain what UGC means?

The reason they’re federating is because of the Digital Markets Act. Same reason WhatsApp is going to interoperate.

And of course they get to also choose who to federate with and who to block, so they can choose instances that have the kind of content they want, all for free, while suppressing instances they don’t like.

Okay, and? What instances do you think they’re going to choose and why?

If your instance starts to try to “convert” people off of Threads, they can (and will) just block you.

…why would they do that? Why would they introduce something new just to turn around and try to prevent you from using it?

They don’t need us for users, they need us for content.

LOL they only need us to comply with regulations. You said it yourself, they have hundreds of millions of users, they don’t need more content. And they sure as shit don’t need content from users that overwhelmingly hate Meta.
