I mean some people just want a social media app without Elon Musk...
You still have to create a profile on Threads when you set it up. Instagram is waaaay bigger than just 10 million users.
If an instance does off because Meta won't defederates from it, then it probably would have died off anyway.

Defederating helps because it limits their reach to a wider community. They're currently a small group because Lemmy and Kbin are new. If they're left unchecked, they will grow.
