MODERATORS
Won't they have control over their instance though? I'm sure they're going to run it like Reddit and shadow ban the shit out of their users and also not let them see certain stuff.
Far more likely to lean on their infrastructure advantage and add things like image and video hosting on-platform that the Fediverse can't do now.
Then once secured, they can defederate from the actual fediverse and take the whole thing private.
or all of the above.
Ok but we wouldn't really be losing anyone though, just threads users who wouldn't have been here anyways
