Counter point, if Threads has features others don’t then they should contribute them to the open source projects and be good stewards rather than (in this hypothetical) force people to use their instance to have them.
Agreed. The absolute best case would be having Meta publishing open source contributions to existing projects or making their software FOSS. However, very few corps have ever been willing to make that type of commitment.
I don’t think we should be praising Meta for making Threads, but I also don’t believe there is a need to actively detest it’s existence. If nothing else, I hope that its compatibility with ActivityPub allows mainstream users to find some niche communities that interest them, which they may never have found otherwise.
