@Mastodon threads is Facebook Twitter… no thanks

@Mastodon

So if I parsed the blog post right:
- Meta can only get my public profile and posts
- No ads, unless my server implements them (they shouldn't)
- The danger of embrace/extend/extinguish is essentially nil
- Meta isn't going to gain undue influence over the rest of the Fediverse due to Threads, even after (if) they federate

I would say I'm okay with this. I might still block the domain, but I'm not going to worry about that too much at the moment.

@Mastodon super helpful, thanks!!!

@Mastodon I think this is awesome.

Looks like you are smart I apreciate that. A lot.

@Mastodon All the important reasons. How does a sane mind say 'oh, goody' to this?

@Mastodon I love to wear my threads!

@Mastodon 👍

@Mastodon What personal information of mine does Meta have access to from my Mastodon account?

@Mastodon sounds cool to me.

@Mastodon 🤔🧐

@Mastodon I left Instagram and went to Twitter because it's evil. Now twitter is getting mad. I tried threads. Threads have both. Madness of twitter with the evil of Meta.

I am happy with Mastodon.

@Mastodon
This is great and pretty much answers all my questions. 👏👍

@Mastodon although separate from IG platform, there is an automatic onboarding of your EXISTING IG following profiles once they join Threads.

@Mastodon
I just don't see Threads not falling foul of basic moderation standards on my instance.
Given Meta's poor track record in dealing with hate speech and misinformation, will it really be different?

@Mastodon Threads needs a *lot* of work. I have to say that I'm tired of newer social media platforms not natively supporting threads. Both threads and hashtags emerged from user demands (and their own workarounds), and both are extraordinarily useful for discovery and interaction.

@Mastodon It seems like everyone believes that Threads will be a success. Some people thought that the metaverse was the next best thing not too long ago. We all know how that ended up.

@Mastodon "It will not be available in the EU and will not support federation at launch."

That sounds very suspicious. Will it not be in the EU because it doesn't comply with GDPR? If so, big red flag

@Mastodon cannot stop myself from reading “Threats” everywhere

@Mastodon "This is a clear victory for our cause, hopefully one of many to come." 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
