Neither did Mastodon.social or Mastodon.online, though honestly I'd recommend people steer clear of those instances when signing up for a different reason, they're also very widely blocked or limited by a lot of servers due to issues with spam and moderation. Ironic that these instances are already too big to effectively moderate, yet threads is bigger and also way worse (see link in other comment about their moderation issues) and yet people still want to federate with them.

Well for one thing it's nice to be able to follow someone's threads account without having to install that crap on your phone.

I don't really see the point since the federation is one-way (at least last time I heard), so you can't reply to anything as it never gets sent back to threads. You'd be better off just following it as an RSS feed if you really want it (There are unofficial tools to do that for threads and it might be officially available in the future).

I wasn't aware it's one-way, thx for informing me on that.
