1) These other platforms like Threads are untrustworthy in that their access to your info may be monetized, ads sold or lists sold or otherwise compromise vulnerable people without any control short of defederating after the fact. Their track record is bad with regard to privacy and commercial subversion.
2) Exposing Federated users to bots, trolls, racists, Nazis and other malevolent users on the commercial algorithms without everyone's consent may degrade and pollute the social aspect of Mastodon in uncontrollable ways.
