The second step is for threads to create features that lure people over from Lemmy (or activitypub). So are the people saying eee by extension saying they'll move to threads from their current server because threads have a bigger and better development team?
they'll move to threads because threads will be incompatible with the rest of fediverse (thread essentially defederate themself), and if most content is being posted in threads, they'll move there (since they can't access it from other instance)
