Here's what you don't seem to understand Mastodon. When I left Facebook all those years ago, I wanted a total separation. I wanted any data I could possibly obtain to be eradicated from their platform, I did not want to interact with anyone on their platform, and I did not want to be visible to that platform as much as I possibly could.
There are already privacy concerns on the greater fediverse, and to think that Meta won't take full advantage of those is incredibly naive, almost intentionally ignorant. Even if EEE wasn't a concern to you (and it should be,) The draw of your platform was the fact of rather than being influenced by a single corporation, fediverse was supposed to be a decentralized network of small communities who together could build each other up into a thriving network. By allowing Threads in, you are ultimately dooming yourself to become an orbit of meta.
In our highly capitalistic society, the goal is to either kill or eat the competition. You've essentially invited the wolf into the flock, and no amount of telling us how fluffy and cute they are is going to make me see past the teeth.
