I dunno, I think the real market for "Threads" is brands and brands want some place that is innocuous. It seems the worst threat to Twitter is that advertisers are pulling out.

If Meta manages to beat Twitter at "amplifying angry voices" it's not going to be an attractive place to buy ads. Look at how YouTube blocks anything that is even slightly erotic (unless you could those "young girl shaking their ass" videos that are all Shorts wants to show me, and I'm not sure if those have ads) or that show any action in the Ukraine war, etc.
