    But they would still be unable to embrace (and, by extension, extend and extinguish) because users from Threads would be unable to interact with users from other instances. Basically, they’d be unable to get rid of a potential competitor using the EEE method.

      But how could interoperability lead to extinguishing? That’s the part I don’t understand. By what means could Threads “extinguish” the network of instances that stay federated?

        Here’s one way it could happen

        1. Facebook joins the Fediverse, becoming the largest instance
        2. Majority of Fediverse embraces this
        3. Facebook decides to deviate slightly from ActivityPub
        4. Not wanting to be disconnected, majority of Fediverse follows them
        5. The real, ActivityPub-based Fediverse is dead (or as small as it was when it started) and now Facebook controls its (former) instances

          Step three is really making a lot of assumptions considering the entire reason Mastodon exists is to limit the control of big companies.
