So - counter-example. I’m working with a UK organisation that currently still uses Twitter. I’m trying to persuade them to start their own Mastodon instance instead. Being able to reach Threads users, in addition to Masto uses would clearly be substantial selling point of setting up a Mastodon server - given the size of the Threads userbase - and much preferable to them starting a Threads account.
I think one of the points - and strengths - of the Fediverse is that a single person or instance can’t make that choice for others.
Most lemmy instances defederated that Facebook BS factory right after it was announced.
True, a single person cant, but everyone agrees that Facebook can go fuck itself and that it ain’t getting the stuff from us.

Thats a different story.
How so? It’s a direct benefit of federation
