it's why i never understood why there was such a push by some to automatically defederate from threads before it even launched.

See Eternal September.

As an example, if Reddit decided to implement activitypub and federate with Lemmy, 99.9% of the content would now be coming from reddit users and you'd basically never see anything else. At that point, why not just go back to Reddit?

thats not really different than the majority of traffic on mastodon being mastodon.social.
