Here's a very different take on Threads by a Fosstodon admin.

I'm worried that what they'll do is just set up hundreds of instances on various domains (not even necessarily *.facebook.com, or similar) in order to connect and scrape. Banning them would require resources and time people just can't dedicate in the way a megacorp can.

    If they wanted to do this, they already would be.

    Why spend the money up front? That's just bad business. They'll only do it if there's real traction in the rest of the verse blocking their shit.

    Yeah agreed. They're building a multi-million dollar social network - why spend all that money up front when they could have just installed small anonymous Pleroma on Raspberry Pi for under 100 bucks if they'd wanted to mine our data.

    I don't think fedi is their "target".
