I think defederating Threads is a huge missed opportunity for Mastodon to grow.

Imagine interacting with their users and letting them know that: you scroll posts without ads, your timeline is in chronological order, your client doesn’t spy on you, you only see what you want and no other content is pushed to your timeline, etc…

if I was a Threads users, I would move to Mastodon as soon as I find out 🙂

@andreagrandi meanwhile they start following me, all my data gets pulled to the Threads server and gets mined and sold.
@macumbamacaca @andreagrandi Your posts are already publicly available. There is no way meta to ever reach over Mastodon's fence and steal data when its both illogical and unnecessary since they already have a billion users that they fan steal data from
