One issue I'm thinking might happen if meta federates is that they will set up a sort of FOMO(fear of missing out) and make it possible for users of threads to talk in fediverse instances, but fediverse instances not able to talk to threads. I'm not sure if this is technically possible as per the activitypub protocol but just a thought I had.

It is possible and there is a currently live example of that: Akkoma and Mastodon. Akkoma can see and follow and interact with Mastodon users and toots, but Mastodon might not be able to see Akkoma posts, even if they're following its users. And this is happening as an unintended bug, not an intentional feature, as we can expect from zuck
