      Microsoft changed and so could Meta. They’re out to make money not just to be evil so if they think this will make them money they would do it.

          That’s true but connecting to the fediverse is definitely trying to keep the government off their back about being a monopoly. Playing nice is in their best interests for now. If that ever changes they can be defederated at the point.

        Meta makes a lot of contributions to open source. Jest and pytorch are two tools they have made open source. They have their eyes on killing Twitter and connecting to one of the biggest alternatives is a smart move, but eventually if all goes well they won’t need mastadon anymore. That’s the concern I think. Once threads is big enough they will quietly remove activitypub support and screw up mastadon in the process.
