I have absolutely no intention of using Threads (for obvious reasons: meta data collection), but I’m interested to see if it can push the fediverse into mainstream conversation. I basically only used twitter for sports news so if those reporters end up on Threads and I can follow them from Mastodon I wouldn’t mind. Of course none of that matters if it’s not on ActivityPub like it’s rumored to be, or if they implement any kind of restrictions to users not on their instance, like following users or liking posts.
You don’t want Meta pushing Mastodon into the mainstream. That will mean most Mastodon users are on Meta’s instance and then they’ll just follow the playbook to kill Mastodon as an open source project by embracing it, extending it, and then extinguishing it.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
