I don’t see the issue. For all those concerned about privacy: you know you are posting in public space? Anyone can scrape the posts however they want. Which is a key aspect of openness btw.
On the other hand, by leaving Threads in would show other companies the concept of a global community instead of multple closed groups. The companies could save on moderation costs Reddit-Style that way, but open.
It’s big, and that’s absolutely a threat from an embrace/extend/extinguish perspective. A big node on a decentralized network is still part of a decentralized network unless they start breaking the decentralization.

Meta cant be trusted. Ever.
threads is centralized
If it federates with ActivityPub, it won’t be.

The Threads software will still be centralized, but the network won’t be. It’s a bit like saying outlook.com email is centralized.

big node is still centralized
