So looks like the main issue is not wanting data collected from threads combined with activity from other meta services unless European users opt in. And the second is requiring Instagram account to sign up for threads.

I think that’s just FUD from Facebook. They want regulators to “clarify” the law in a way that favours Facebook.
“Oh look how very very bad this law is, we’re soooo uncertainn! We can’t even provide login via Instagraaaammmm in our new App that we can’t launch in the EU. Booohoooo 😣😣😢”
In reality, Facebook has entire departments of lawyers who have clearly laid this case out internally at length.
Please let it be delayed forever. Meta can stay in the US please.
Yeap, its a app for US and not EU. Please keep it in the US. We don’t want it
Keep it in the US please :D
Someone needs to create some European Mastodon instances with names like “OpenThread[.de|.it|.fr]” and market it as an alternative to Meta Threads.
They can create a proper grassroots marketing campaign and offer federation with other ActivityPub instances.
The problem with Mastodon adoption by the mainstream is the tyranny of choice. Normies want to be told which instance to sign up for, they don’t want to have to make the decision themselves. This is the only reason people think that signing up for Mastodon is difficult.
