I suspect the fedi-collective has more negotiating power in this moment than it realizes. We may as well make some asks, see how Meta responds, and they in turn will see how the public, the media and the regulators respond to them in this bold new era of pervasive Big Tech skepticism.

Money can mitigate the risk of Threads:

'coopting the fediverse': $200k for Test Suite. 'overburdening moderators': $200k for moderation. 'locking in users': $200k for Nomadic Identity

A bit of internet reparations.

Who decides who gets the money? Meta? Isn't this literally the worst case EEE scenario that people are worried about? They're going to buy the changes they want?
