Yep, they’ll extend the shit out of the protocol, and that can take any form. It’ll probably start with cute emoji or gifs that look great in threads but render as some weird code in other clients, and it’ll probably escalate from there until you can’t use the fediverse in anything other than the threads client. After which they’ll turn off federation altogether.
