Can someone ELI5 this situation to me? Not sure what Meta can do to instances/the Fediverse.
People are worried that they'll embrace, extend and extinguish it. That is, join the fediverse, make Threads a better client than any of the existing ones until everyone uses their client, then use that extra reach to harm the fediverse.
I'm personally not that worried, because of who we are. We're a bunch of geeks with anarchist leanings, and so probably wouldn't switch to Threads anyway.
What about when/if the fediverse becomes mainstream? Sure, YOU wouldn't use threads but plenty of people will.
Nobody is suggesting that we destroy Threads. We just don't want to let it control the fediverse.
