That would be great but it’s most likely not going to work that way- Meta will never let you use Mastodon to act as a threads client so any integration between the two will probably let people view mastodon from threads but not vice versa (except replies)

Unlikely as in that case Mastodon servers will have almost no reason to not defederate and a lot to do so.

Meta, as the submitted essay argues, probably cares more about the optics than going after those 0.1% of users.

But of course, who knows what's actually going through Zuck's head. (Other than the fists of other martial arts trainees.)
