Threads is only federated in name. It's simply Meta's taking advantage of Twitter's downfall. It's as centralized and under Meta's thumb as they come.
Still introduces the concept and will make people aware of other instances.
Definitely avoid it but it’s still publicly for federation.
Threads is federated though. You can follow Threads accounts on Mastodon. It's still a work in progress though, and not everything is implemented yet.
