No, this is the good kind of federation because I can post on Mastodon and my normie friends can see it.

The write-only federation they’re doing now is bad because it pushes Mastodon users to join Threads.

The other side is Facebook Messenger started out as federated XMPP until it got big enough, then it changed the backend it’s using to a proprietary one
