@aral "but muh clout!" These people will sweep aside decades of Meta abuse to gain access to more clout/followers. It's shocking to me anyone on the fedi thinks this way given the culture here. If you want to clout chase numbers go to BlueSky or Twitter where that's the point of the platforms.
They'll deny that this is the reason they want to federate with Threads, but also **of course that's the reason.** Humans are not complicated and are way more transparent in their actions than they think.

It's actually really quite nice, and I don't hear much noise about it. Go give this project a look at https://piefed.social.
