perspective: if i can still reach everyone on the fediverse with threads.. why should i switch to lemmy and co? there is no incentive for it. so 99% will not do it if they don't have to or get a incentive from it.we don't get something from it, but facebook does (userdata and money).
so its a one sided deal where only facebook wins and we lose in the end.
Since writing my comment above, I've come across Cory Doctrow's "Let the Platforms Burn" article where he argues that interoperability and the ability for users to move to other platforms is the best way out of the Meta situation. https://doctorow.medium.com/let-the-platforms-burn-6fb3e6c0d980
