It'll be both good and bad if it happens.
While it'll be great for the threadiverse to have more growth it will inevitably put us in the crosshairs of bot farms and AI data farmers.
In the future, platforms like lemmy will probably have to find privacy-respecting ways of verifying that someone is a human. There are ways to prove someone is an actual human without relying on digital technologies at all. If you're trying to prove humanity and not using human solutions, you're going to fail.
I plan on going to smaller fediverse graphs if it ever gets too mainstream around here.
