MODERATORS
Couple reasons actually
Meta wants to scrap every bit of data, doesn't matter if it's on Threads or networks federated with it
They just want a free usercount boost for start, and will remove ActivityPub integration when they feel Threads can go on alone
It's all a classic case of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
Can’t they just scrape the data anyway?
