A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping mall says 'if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit'. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate landscape.

I don’t think Threads poses a threat to Mastodon. It’s (mostly) a different user base. However, I do think Threads can knock out Twitter.

I’ve got my popcorn out.
