As you've probably heard, Threads (a fairly new social network from Facebook's parent company Meta) is testing integration with the fediverse. Depending on how you look at it, it's a great opportunity, a huge threat, or both!

Back in May and June, when Threads' first announced their plans, there were quite a few polls on Mastodon about people's reactions, most showing opinions split roughly equally. How do people feel today?

the whole point of federation is networks being able to connect to each other. it will hopefully be a matter of course in the future.

is also decentralization

I'm pretty sure they don't have that many, Threads too, a steep hit:

Meta’s Twitter rival Threads sees steep drop in daily users by 80 per cent, report says

Do you have independent numbers to back up your statement?

is still disproportionate amount

20 million compared to 1.5 million per day isn't that huge of a jump considering threads probably has a shit ton more bots.
