They seems to really embrace open social media. I have a couple of questions to see what their true intension is. It is assumed that they would federate with fediverse soon (plenty of reports of that already)

Would they support 3rd party apps to browse their contents without ads/tracking? I do not mind paying if true
If I do not agree with how they moderate/treat users, can I move somewhere else (aka another Threads instance)? Can another Threads instance even be set up independently or they are the only player
Would they contribute their improvements on Threads to ActivityPub (after thorough community review of course)?
What contributions have they made so far to fediverse?

All I want to see is if they should be considered a member of the fediverse and play by the rules that all other members follow. the answer would make the decision around federation/defederation easy

I tried going to threads.net on desktop browser just to spy on the enemy. uBlock Origin didn't like it one bit, blocked a bunch of stuff that wouldn't let it open (I'm running a slightly more aggressive blocker configuration). I'm scared to trust it and see what it looks like.

It just tells me to install the app even with no adblocker.
