I get meta evil, but aren’t we just blocking out any users from accessing the wider fediverse?

No - they're blocking out any users from accessing the wider fediverse through threads.

They're entirely welcome to access the fediverse through any of the countless instances that are not owned by grotesquely destructive megacorporations.

If you’re in the know, sure, but if the fediverse interacts with threads we could expose literally billions of people to the larger fediverse.

Maybe while the fediverse is still getting it’s legs defederating is the move, but I mean literally billions of people being made aware of the fediverse would be amazing.

i have never once in all my years seen one single thing made better by being discovered by the masses.

Embrace, extend, extinguish

Meta does not like the fediverse and they will do anything to destroy it

It's not making anyone aware. For all I know, Meta probably wouldn't even show the source instance, just abuse the content
