So has anyone tried #Threads yet? Any good? (Apart from it being in the hands of another, slightly more sane, billionaire). Will it be the bird app killer?
It's supposed to support #ActivityPub so in theory, you should be able to follow threads accounts on Mastodon and vice versa. Any luck in doing so?

@SyrinxTemple I can't try it (EU), but two red flags: you need to delete your Instagram account to delete your Threads account, and apparently, there's no chronological or following-only timelines. Basically, there's only the For You, algorithm-powered tab. (At least, that's what I've read.)
