When I saw MKBHD on threads available through flipboard, the thought crossed my mind. Wouldn’t it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with “one account to rule them all” solution?

That’s not the danger, the danger is there being even less incentive to move to opensource alternatives. If you can have one account on e.g youtube with which you can talk to people on threads, send pictures to insta, and receive comments from everywhere, why move?
For the same reason that people use newpipe or invidious instead of the youtube app or website: a better experience. The kind of people who use the official client aren’t going to be moving to be fediverse anyway!
Because google and meta are creepy companies. I still use Instagram. I will not use Instagram if it had activitypub support.
wat?
There are people I still need to keep in contact with. That’s why
Oh, I see. That confused me, but I get it now. My bad.
