Ideally I’d say I (and IMO the average user) might want to be in the middle group aka "I want to connect with my friends and family but I don’t want trolls in my replies."
But I don’t mind making an alt-account in the first group, I already have an Instagram account it cannot be worse than being on the actual platform. What’s great is that the second part of our handle is a literal advertisement. I’ll interact the hell out of meta users and show off my cool handle (bonus points if I can find a very funny domain name).
I will also subscribe to the actual Threads with my actual instagram account as soon as I can. Why? Not to create content for meta, but because I like trying new stuff, being an early users and reporting back here. The same I do for Bluesky.
Of course that doesn’t mean that I support Meta. Meta is an adversary to the community-led fediverse. There is a choice to make between safety and connectivity with friends, there are multiple strategy to get people off meta and onto the fediverse. There are a lot of in-fighting here and disagreements.
But the simple truth is that no one likes meta, they have no ally here.
