They have been talking about how creators want to own their platform and I could imagine that they don't mind allowing a few such people to migrate off Threads to facilitate that. In the end what matters to them is that the large audience stays on their platform where they can serve them personalized advertisements.

i hope so. its part of the reason i run an instance. to give people a place to migrate to, but still be able to contact their peeps.

The fact that they have any Fedi integration whatsoever is a mystery to me but I'm gonna say no regardless.

Yeah, awesome if threads make it easy to go from free to corporate without a hussle /s

Probably for European users if Europe decides to force gatekeeping platforms to implement such a feature.
