Basically Zucc knows that fediverse (Mastodon/Lemmy) is a serious competitor, so instead of fighting it - he joined it. And named it "Threads" or smth (I don't know and I don't want to know)

The problem is that everyone bullied Zucc and "dropped him from their friend circles". No one wants to be friends with Zucc. 🤷😂

The dangerous part is that he can start bribing admins of large instances to federate Threads. I'm not sure how one would practically defend against something like this. The only way I can think of would be for an admin to be so ideologically opposed to Meta that they would refuse even $1m to federate. But such people are rare.

I mean, you could create your own instance and not have to worry.

That could help. But then we need:

  1. More instances.
  2. A more uniform distribution of users. (as opposed to people flocking to just one or a couple of instances)
