@phnt i think they really just mean "we want egirls on here with a million followers" and i guess, yeah ok, but why? as bao said, the fediverse successfully kept normie npcs away by having two @s instead of one.

i think that's one of the fundmental split personality issues in the fediverse. people say they don't want normies on here, but they also say that normies are retarded for not coming here because it's clearly objectively better. it's either / or. is this a secret club or is this a 200 million user network?

it would be interesting to have people that are not that online. Like turkish-german steel industry Gen X ers who currently post once a year on Facebook. Imagine the lore they could bring to the table.

As far as the already terminally online people go we can be really happy how Bluesky and X the everything App act as containment sites, tho sadly not all breaches can be completely avoided

threads started with a very limited implementation that they very slowly expanded, so it could be technical reasons as well. Threads federation is weird, I saw some threads stuff here on linksjugend despite our admin banning it (the usual threads url doesn't even seem to be doing the federation).
But with the cultural aspect as well, threads/insta is probably the most normie online network but still for large parts of Fedi the moderation meta that 95% of the world population would be fine with is literally hitler. I somehow get the "huge company scraping Fedi" problem but let's be real criminals, governments and NGOs already do that, never understood this "Fedi is the most private network" Mastodonger misinformation
