I agree. Having Threads federated will make it much easier for individuals to pick Mastodon as they won't miss out on the network effects of a larger network. They can still follow their friends and be followed. I find it very unlikely that the number of people who sign up for Threads rather than Mastodon is is higher than the number of people that will be "able to" use other services because they can follow and be followed by the large community on Threads. It seems that if Threads is federated than every Threads user is a win for the Fediverse and every non-threads user is a big win for the Fediverse. The only "lose" case is someone joining threads that would have otherwise joined something else.
