A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping mall says 'if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit'. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate landscape.

~~Is Threads federating? I thought it was just standalone.~~

~~Searching around for “Threads Federation” or “Threads Fediverse” yielded nothing~~

Got it - ActivityPub was the term to use

Notably, Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in a post that there will be no ActivityPub support at launch. ActivityPub is — a protocol that is used to post on decentralized networks like Mastodon. But the platform plans to allow interactions with other fediverse servers in the future.

At least in the original leaks it clearly said so and apparently they did talk to some large Mastodon instance admins a few weeks ago about enabling federation with them but since it was under NDA no further details are known.
