I suspect most people abandoning #Twitter / #X are signing up for @threads as their replacement.
This is good for the #Fediverse long term, although I think in the short term we will witness a stagnation of most #ActivityPub platforms.
#Threads grew by a #Bluesky this month https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/14/24296490/meta-threads-15-million-adam-mosseri-bluesky

I don't see how one centrally controlled platform by Meta, that is trying hard to hide that other instances exist, would be good for the #fediverse in the long term.
It's not even good for the people switching. Meta already started to acting in the same way Twitter did with silencing unwanted political voices, e.g. during last french election.
@feyter @threads @theverge The primary long term benefit is that #Threads would inspire more blog platforms & other centralized social networks to join the #Fediverse.
In the short term, Threads will stunt the growth of most micro status #ActivityPub platforms (which is what we are witnessing now).

I don't see this.
News (like the verge) are reporting about threads and not the Fediverse. Threads never really opened up for federation and the moment that they are "the next twitter", they will close it down completely again. Nothing about what is currently happening around threads is inspiring people to use a different provider.
Benefit for the Fediverse (and therefore social media users in general) would be if people spread around different federated platforms.
