Why should we defederate from threads genuine question? They can’t control us can they? Or is it because it would ruin many instances due to the amount of users posting content on threads resulting in many threads post on home feeds here on Lemmy?

Cooperate greed a couple times has taken open source projects over by first helping, then offering 'thread exclusive feautres' which no one else cna support - but obviously they can support all open source protocols, giving them a one up. This leads to more users using theirs until it becomes a big layer in the game, and slowly they can factor out all open source/free parts of the software until its essentially another Instagram with full control in their hands
