Do you honestly think only the positive, friendly people would hop over? The entire fediverse will be overrun by crazy political conspiracy theories and hostile homophobic/transphobic/anti abortion stuff in no time.
what exactly is stopping people from doing that regardless of what meta does with threads?
Meta deliberately provokes that kind of stuff since rage baiting is good for engagement. They've cultivated and minmaxed that kind of behaviour for years. I'm sure it exists in small pockets here already, but nowhere near the same level.
i don't think you have a firm grasp on how nitch communities congregate.
