It's been stated that Meta intends to federate Threads with Mastodon eventually, so either will ultimately be viable.
I have zero faith that will happen. I don't think they anticipated how well threads would be adopted and that saying they'd federate was just a hedge.
I bet they'll pull a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
I'm sure that's what they want. A free and open platform that doesn't rely on advertising and isn't there to make a profit? Kill it!
A few instances will likely federate with threads, but probably not the interesting ones...
I think the implication was that Threads will not actually federate
Oh I think they'll do, just to not miss the train, and then they'll find a "smart" way to "destroy" federation and get people on their side... But we'll see...
