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 So do I...I prefer Fosstodon's stance on it...wait and see how it shakes out, then decide. If they turn out to be a negative influence, then defederate.
@andreagrandi I loved this thread on the potential moves to watch for in Meta's Fediverse experiment going evil: https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/145687/How-I-anticipate-Meta-s-EEE-strategy-to-play-out

Here's my prediction, but I'd like others to contribute their predictions as well. I think it's important that we make ourselves aware of signs before they start showing, and that we have a record to point to if things play out exactly as we predict....
