Another article I read theorized that Threads launching might have increased the awareness of ActivityPub and softened peoples resistance to the “Mastodon is too hard, not worth trying to figure out” messaging in the media. Who knows though, and there’s probably not a single answer anyway.

Hot take: Threads actually federating with Mastodon would be one of the best things that could happen to Activitypub and the fediverse.
But we have alll of that hand wringing and pearl clutching over it and people defederating before ita even happened.
