@jawarajabbi @Gargron are folks really going to pretend that Threads, the service built by the largest social media company in the world, with 100 million signed up users in the first weekend (10x the entire fediverse), whose mere existence led to an anti-federation pact signed by over 500 instance admins, which isn't even federating yet, isn't exactly identical to just some random Mastodon instance that someone set up with 100 people on it?
