What to know about Threads
blog.joinmastodon.org
There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.

Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I’m not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.

    Oh god, “shilling”. Yep, there’s that Reddit paranoia. Everyone who disagrees with me a robot!

    There are two topics here, Meta and beans. Of course I’m talking about one of them lmao

    And read the original comment I replied to saying Mastadon devs are “in bed with vipers”. That’s what I would consider “shitting on”.

      What does reddit have to do with this? Many of your comments seem to downplay the threat these companies are to the fediverse.

      Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get us.

        My comments downplay the “threat” because I don’t believe it’s a threat, and if a single corporation joining the fediverse somehow actually destroys it then it wasn’t going to be around long anyways.

        If you read all my comments you should know that. I’m not a fucking shill because I disagree with you ffs.
