This has been my slightly controversial take as well.

Brands and governments can create their Thread accounts (they were never going to join Mastadon), users can use Mastadon to access those if they want, while keeping away from Meta.

It could be what's needed to bring Mastadon into the main stream.
- I think it's better to create a division between corpo-social media and public social media. Everything that corporation does just muddle the water.
- That's how people thought it would have gone with XMPP and Google Talk, but that's not how it went at all
  
  What are/were those, and what happened?
