With the whole #Threads thing I think there is generally a fear of missing out that makes people want to go #corporate. That's why #Meta and #Twitter remain so popular.
But to go to, and remain on, part of the #Fediverse whose instances have chosen to opt out would probably make a more enjoyable, meaningful experience.
Finding people with similar interests is much more fruitful that knowing what some boring celebrity has to say, or to listening to a middling centrist crowd have their say.
... I've posted before Lydia Lunch's quote about New York: "No city needs you; you need it."
Social media too is like this. Sure, they need users en masse, but there's a feeling you can somehow influence and profit from the mass, when in actuality, "you wouldn't raise a whisper on a radar screen."
I'd prefer to be on an opt-out instance in a #Fediverse niche, so I hope there are instances making themselves known and asking for new members.
