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?

Your response isn't self consistent.

they'd only have to make a profile on a different, normal server my "All" feed would still be full of garbage-tier content that people typically expect and post on Meta's services

If they make a profile on a normal server then your feed will be full of that same content you don't want. You're trying to exclude users, not meta itself.

Besides, you keep taking as though they're federating with Lemmy. They're not, they're federating with mastodon. Having mastodon posts show up automatically in your Lemmy feeds is unusual. Kbin, maybe.
