That is already twice as much as the Fediverse has currently. It will be interesting to observe what happens when Threads flip the switch and becomes compatible with the ActivityPub protocol.
As a long time inhabitant of the Fediverse, I do not like the idea of Meta slurping up my public posts hosted on my own server. Would it help to put my profile and public posts under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license? I guess that would hinder Meta, in theory at least, to use my content as they are the very definition of a commercial actor, earning big piles of cash mixing user content with ads.

The whole point of the Fediverse is that any random person or company can come along and start slurping up your public posts (which, of course, is just another reason that it's a terrible idea).
