The same thing that Threads might allegedly do to Mastodon is apparently absolutely desirable when Mastodon does it to the rest of the Fediverse; CW: long (914 characters), Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta, Threads/Meta/Facebook/Zuckerberg

Threads
might overrun the Fediverse with its own rules, its own culture and its own non-standard technology, simply by being the biggest project in the Fediverse and making itself the de-facto Fediverse standard by sheer numbers. Mastodon users are up in arms against it.
Mastodon itself has been doing all these very same things to the rest of the Fediverse ever since 2016. Largely the very same Mastodon users who are raging against Threads now are not only cheering on Mastodon forcing its ways and its non-standard stuff upon everything that isn't Mastodon, but demanding more of it.
Just for the record: Mastodon was not here first. At least Friendica, Hubzilla and Pleroma were, in this order. And Hubzilla even had ActivityPub before Mastodon.
