Bluesky now exceeds 13 million users, the AT Protocol developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped highly requested features like direct messages and video.

I'm way less worried about bluesky as opposed to threads. If anything, it serves as a healthy competitor to mastodon in terms of how it would require a bridge to interact. You have to go out of your way to make it happen.
But threads is pulling a EEE, and it's obvious that's the goal.
If they actually had legitimate interest in the fediverse they would be working towards making Instagram interoperable. But of course their established platforms aren't necessary for EEE.
