MODERATORS
What is the threat? Isn't it good that the fediverse is becoming more mainstream? If thread users can communicate with us, it will be easier for them to join us.
It's only my personal point of view, but have you ever seen how does a Meta user usually communicates? Can you imagine a moderating an instance where you suddenly get an influx of 3 billion users? None of them will ever create an account outside of the Meta ecosystem, and will only bring problems to most of the other instances, while making any kind of moderation a living hell.
The threat mainly is a corporation looking to assert itself within the fediverse in an attempt to kill it's growth with eventual incompatibilities. Personally, I don't have a dog in this fight, but it's been interesting to watch.
