It's not like "they" are some unknown quantity though, it's the Facebook people. It's not weird or unreasonable for people to not want the company that got fined literally a billion euros for data privacy violations just a couple of months ago to get involved in a thing they like
I'm not on Facebook but I know people who are, and they are just ordinary people who made a poor choice and didn't read the terms and conditions. It's all those people who you are excluding, not just Facebook employees.
All of those people are welcome to make accounts elsewhere on any Fediverse instance, though, just like they were before the launch of Threads. They're not banned. They're not being punished either. There's just going to be less stuff on Threads.
That's just a network effect. All we can do is help those people move to platforms that are better aligned with their users' interests.
Even Churches use Facebook. It's not going to be easy.
