Metas #threads connecting to the fediverse has me feeling a certain way

#Instagram holds my main community so threads felt natural for me to go towards. But I was ultimately not gonna spend much time on it

I saw it as another #Meta backed clone of another app that would fizzle and die

But knowing that it plans to connect to Mastodon for sure changes my outlook. Particularly with migrating my community here.

Still a bit of a fedi-noob but I'm curious what others see on this?

@dillonthebiologist Same. I'm not writing it off.

@CMDoran Yea I guess thats where im at now. Also with Bluesky still stuck behind invite only, Im excited to see if Threads fills the gap

Of course, with Instagrams track record its likely to be a buggy mess at launch!

@dillonthebiologist I don't have insta, but potentially could connect w family...them there and me here. Would that work? Maybe after they find that Fediverse doesn't track them or sell ads, they'd migrate?

@CMDoran I have no idea tbh. It all depends on what Meta pushes. I thiiiink it'll work tho
