@Mastodon I largely agree with it being a victory but I have mixed feelings about one behemoth instance coming in. I can imagine a situation where Meta decides to make their instance read-only from a federation standpoint possibly justifying it in terms of easier moderation. Then content creators will be incentivized to make their accounts only on Threads so they can reach a full (Threads & other) audience, while those remaining on non-Threads instances will have a smaller audience and experience a degraded experience where their replies aren't seen by Threads users, etc.

I'm not sure what the ideal outcome is - many of the people who will use Threads probably weren't going to use a smaller instance, but I hope that people think long and hard about what instance they want to use to join the fediverse.
