I'm guessing Meta's gameplan is this:
1. Twitter is collapsing
2, A lot of Twitter people are going to the Fediverse
3. Meta wants ex-Twitter people on the Fediverse to move onto Threads instead, so it's pretending to be joining the Fediverse as a new type of server
4. Threads will offer features that aren't available on Mastodon etc.
5. Once Meta has got people onto Threads, they can ignore the Fediverse
(aka "Embrace, extend, extinguish")
