I’m hoping corporations start their own instances (like nytimes makes an instance for its main account and its journalists) and institutions like universities make their own instances as well (there’s so many .edu emails, there should be .edu fedi accounts). This prevents their posts being governed by a big entity like Facebook and prevents a Twitter style enshitification.
From a normal user standpoint, follow your friends on threads, talk to them about how they don’t need to be on the threads app, and encourage posting/replying between instances with those around you.
ah interesting, i like the idea of using instances as a form of verification. in that case, maybe it makes sense for there to be something like private communities so only those in the instance can see it.
Edit: i am on lemmy, so using communities. but essentially having some content that is private to the instance
