We don't need to convince anyone to do anything. The network effect is what matters - the larger the network, the more useful it is, which makes social media a natural monopoly. The way we beat them is by having a more robust network that doesn't enshittify and retains users long term. Eventually people will realise that Threads is worse because most of the rest of the network has excluded them. They'll find their way here.
We can defederate for any reason. If people don't like it, they can go elsewhere, but if that means they're joining a smaller, shittier network, well, I guess that means they've chosen the less popular option. It's up to them.
