When I join threadiverse (summer 2023), soon everyone was talking about Threads and how it was about to destroy the whole thing.

Then nothing came of it and the whole convo kinda vanished.

Why didn't threads destroy threadiverse already?

Yes, absolutely. As an instance owner of four services (lemmy, mastodon, matrix and peertube), the users will absolutely follow a lot more folks (and maybe unfollow them but then the damage is done, metaphorically).

The larger problem will be the habit of having infinitely more people and then meta defederating/limiting the non-meta instances which is what makes them the most money.
