But also the Fediverse will be there for them. Yeah some people like their walled gardens, but with orgs like the BBC setting up their own Mastodon instances, Threads getting the refugees from Twitter isn't a given.

I think they attract different audiences. Threads is just Instagram with text above, instead of below, pictures. It is more pop-culture oriented, and has all the big celebs and brands (way more than the few dipping toes in Fediverse). It's so far also a more direct Twitter replacement — everyone just signs up in one place, and nobody hears "well actually" about missing replies or non-working follow buttons (I expect it will be a mess if they add federation).

All the reasons why I’m happy on mastodon and have zero interest in threads.
