that's not how the perception of the masses works, though.

How can allowing access to everything on something people start out viewing as the defualt make it seem like less of the default?

Only by things existing outside of threads can people realize it it not.

people hate Facebook. Or Meta.

I agree; people rightly hate facebook and meta

I never said that people should use Threads to join the Fediverse. I said that people who already use Threads can be more easily convinced to join this place.

How will you convince them if they can get everything the fediverse offers without leaving Threads?

I don't think letting people interact with you without leaving Meta hurts Meta, no.

Building something bad actors aren't allowed to access and telling people about it without letting Meta play middleman is how you get people off meta,not throwing open the doors to Evil.

This didn't work, sadly.

How much are those relationships worth then?

And it doesn't work because such platforms make you think that they are the default

You make Meta seem more like the default by allowing contact with you through it. Be something they can't access while associating with evil.

I'm happy for you, or sorry that happened.

You are infinitely safer interacting with a Threads user here than by actually using Threads itself.

You should not be interacting with Threads. No one should be, and you should not legitimize it's use.

You will not convince people to leave threads by letting them stay on threads and still talk to you.

I'm against it sounding like "Threads" i.e. as though it's something Meta owns and controls. For all I know your use came first and the thing I hate is Meta appropriating it, though.

Marx’s Das Kapital for beginners

Are you going to tell me "Beowulf For Dummies" is the same text as Bēowulf?

No. I sent you a commentary. I doubt you could handle Das Kapital.

Facebook is not (yet?) negatively impacting the fediverse. Fediverse users are.

Meta negatively impacts everything by being Meta. You should not cover for nor defend them.
