Honestly I think this is good for the fediverse.
It instantly boosts mastodon and Pixelfed’s reach, which means people won’t dismiss posting there as it never gets seen.
I would never open a Threads account, but it unlocks seeing content from a lot of people I like who ditched Twitter but didn’t understand mastodon.
Yes, this can also be Embrace, Extend Extinguish, but I’m happy for the publicity.
If people don’t like it they can join an instance that defederatrs from Meta and that’s totally fine.
It’s funny how “mastodon is too complicated” stops when the instance they pick is Threads.
🤔
threads only has one instance
But now it’s one of hundreds you could pick to participate in ActivityPub/Mastodon.
you don’t need to pick instance to join threads
you don't need pick instance step to join mastodon.social
you have to pick mastodon.social out of all mastodon instances to join
I have to pick mastodon.social to join 😵💫
