Very simply, the response about Threads from @Gargron is impossibly naive. It assumes good faith interactions with a company that routinely demonstrates, and often flaunts it's lack of ethics. There is no universe in which Mastodon gets Threads content for free. Either they're going to find a way to monetize Mastodons userbase or they're not going to implement interoperability.

@GrayGooGirl @Gargron Ethics or not, either a thing is resilient enough to live in a world with mutant zombie whales or it enshittified into oblivion.
If Fediverse is of the former, then naivette doesn't matter. Well, it doesn't matter too, if Fediverse is of the latter either.
