How do you feel about Threads? (self.fediverse)

I heard it will be on the Fediverse. Is it true? I heard it had 30 millions users registered on the first day. Wtf. The whole Fediverse doesn't even have 10 millions users. I heard it will not be available in Europe, yet. I visited https://www.threads.net/ and I don't know if it'll be the Threads instance to the Fediverse. There's nothing at the moment.

I wouldn't like this contamination in the Fediverse. What are your thoughts?

I would prefer that we all de-federate from any corporations. If they are federated they will certainly be slurping up EVERYTHING they can touch, whether or not it's on their instance. As far as the 30m users, I'm pretty sure anyone with an Instagram account automatically has a threads account so the numbers are inflated from the amount of people actually using it.

Edit: I was wrong about the Instagram=Threads account thing. I still don't believe those numbers though.
