Yea the other part of my reasoning is to try and prevent them from getting to that point.
The short version of which is that our biggest selling point is "Join Mastodon, you can see all the same content and do the same things, but it's run by a non-profit instead of Facebook". Defederation means we lose that point, and it's going to be very difficult for Mastodon to compete with the money and manpower that facebook has.
"Join Mastodon to see content that you can't see otherwise" will have a much harder time competing with "Join Threads to see content that you can't see otherwise"
