Well, that really puts things in perspective.

At Microsoft, this strategy was called "embrace, extend, extinguish", but it's important to realize that it isn't a practice that's exclusive to Microsoft.

Is Facebook/Meta attempting something similar by making Threads compatible with Mastodon?

Once they achieve any saturation and market share, watch as they "extend" and "Improve" with proprietary things, that is where M$ was when People finally noticed and cared. The real problem with the metastization of the fediverse if there are means to extrapolate the ID here using info available via Failbook to a FB profile.
