MODERATORS
Embrace, extend, extinguish. They'll play nice with the Fediverse for a while. Maybe years. But then they'll introduce a new feature to the Fediverse as a "good will gesture". Then they'll make features available to only people federated with Threads. Then they'll make features only people on Threads can see. And so on and so forth. We SHOULD care where the content comes from. Platforms that are neutral should be where our content comes from.
You're just describing how the fediverse works. One social network that is partially comparable with another network. Like subscribing to pixelated from mastodon, etc. not all features are available, but some are. Not only is there no such thing as a neutral platform, but the decentralization of mastodon and the fediverse in general is specifically to address that.
The danger of meta is their data scraping - something they can already do anyway without their own servers being federated.
