They have been talking about how creators want to own their platform and I could imagine that they don't mind allowing a few such people to migrate off Threads to facilitate that. In the end what matters to them is that the large audience stays on their platform where they can serve them personalized advertisements.

yeah, not alot of people enable the fediverse feature on ThreadsTM anyways. I can see what you mean there for personalized Adverts.

I'm guessing not a lot of users know about it. Their ActivityPub implementation is still only about half done.
It will be interesting to see of they promote it heavily when it's more complete.
i hope so. its part of the reason i run an instance. to give people a place to migrate to, but still be able to contact their peeps.
Probably for European users if Europe decides to force gatekeeping platforms to implement such a feature.
Yeah, awesome if threads make it easy to go from free to corporate without a hussle /s
