If you’re reading this toot there’s a pretty high chance you’ve asked yourself ethical questions about your social media use *and that’s why you’re here*

You’ve likewise probably got concerns about Meta and Threads

But the 90-odd % of your friends you left behind on Facebook, Insta etc. likely don’t have those concerns to the same extent as you

Mastodon has to win on user experience *as well as on ethics*. We can’t just berate the Meta users

@jon Ethics aside, I liked Twitter for being a text-first platform and I doubt Meta's ability to pull that one off.

@gagan They *claim* that's what Threads aims to be. We'll see the extent to which that is going to hold true!

@jon I think Threads might gravitate towards media than text. Twitter started off text only. Photos and videos appeared much later and the video experience is still really subpar on Twitter. If Meta takes an all-in-one approach, Threads could just turn into another Instagram. Indeed time will tell how it works out.
