Personally I believe that it'll make people associate the Fediverse with Threads, which is not a good thing. Edit: It'll replace their definition of the Fediverse, with Threads, and people may widely forget about Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin etc.
When I draw from experience with Meta it will mean harm for the Fediverse. Their moderation will be bad. They won’t ban Nazis. Nazis will attact marginalized people in the rest of the Fediverse. So instances will block Threats some won’t = The fediverse is split. Zuck wins.
It’s not a technical split, but an ethicsl split. Until recently the fediverse took pride in the fact that they watched out for eachother. If tgere was an instance that didn’t moderate nazis, they defederated or at least muted it. Now, that the instance in question is run by a corporation with a history of bad moderation, desinforamation and hate-speech they get the benefit of doubt, because people think it’s cool that an awful guy like Mark Zuckerberg sees a chance of making big money on their hobby. I think Meta joins the Fediverse to attack Twitter. It’s a means to end competition. Thus they will not let the rest of the fediverse become competition. “Competition is for losers” – Peter Thiel
And that is not a mistake or a missing feature in a beta version. People can easily join but they can’t leave. Threads can only grow. And the will remain this way until someone wins in court against Meta

Do you think Meta's Threads app will be beneficial or detrimental to the Fediverse?
