Mastodawn

1. Meta embraces ActivityPub, federates with mastodon.social, uses Fediverse servers as a "look at all the people you can talk to on day one!"

2. People on Fediverse start following/mingling with Threads accounts, thereby tightly integrating the network effect between the two

3. People decide that if they can get access to the Fediverse through Threads instead of Mastodon, which is for "dumb nerds", they'll go with Threads

4. "Threads will be ending support for ActivityPub on September 1st, 2026 - click here to import your Mastodon account"

5. Fediverse users leave en masse so they can keep talking to their friends on Threads

6. Blog post Eugen: "I didn't want to believe they would go this far"

1. Meta embraces ActivityPub with their Threads App: "Look all that people"

2. People on Threads speak with all the nerds on Mastodon that speak bad about Threads and explain that Mastodon is much better because of privacy and no ads.

3. Over time people join Threads but also leave it after they understand the Fediverse.

4. A fork of Mastodon looks like Threads and makes switching easier.

5. Meta quits Threads and the rest of their users switch to other Fediverse applications.

@duco @AmyZenunim as we have seen with other websites people almost always think of mastoodj as an HOA who will get mad if you don't content warn a post saying I'm cold with cw weather

@skymtf I was never asked to add a content warning to any of my posts nor have I seen anyone getting angry about it on others. So I can not relate to your experience and don't know what "other websites" you refer to. HOA = Home Owner Association? That's a construct in the USA, right? I don't know how they are. But in Mastodon if you don't like someone you can block them. If you don't like the rules of your instance, you can switch.
