I have my problems with Meta, but I'm hoping this will help Mastodon grow

Or from another angle, they won't be able to entirely pull the plug. If they try to but users still want to be on mastodon, they can find another way.

That said, I support the immediate defederation with any threads instances.

They can pull it - most users in Threads will be interacting with other Threads users and content. Mastodon will be simply "that ideologically weird corner", and in practice they won't miss it.

For scale: Threads currently has 100M users. The Fediverse as a whole has 1.5M.

13+ million total users: https://fediverse.observer/stats

I'm counting only monthly active users, for both sides. FediDB lists 1.2M for the Fediverse, your link lists 1.7M of them.
