I'm not suggesting anything, just want to know what do you think.

Here is a link if someone don't know what Meta's Threads is: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/

It really helps to hear a historical perspective on this. The issue is not a matter of, "let's give them a chance and see how it goes." It's more like, "we know this has gone very badly in the past and the incentives are clear for Meta to sabotage us."

yep. And as an XMPP networks op, I wish we had figured-out the technical measures to avoid it in the meantime. Practically, it boils down to preventing a single actor from consolidating a "greater than X" share of the network, while retaining the desirable aspects like "promoting the better services for the most users".
