I’ve been on Threads for most of today and what I really LOVE about it is that I was able to quickly connect with friends, companies, search and quickly find people I wanted to follow. I came here when Musk blocked Tweetbot. I like what I see here but I just haven’t fully grasped the benefits of decentralization 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’m not going to delete my account but I certainly won’t be on here much unless something changes.

@Carrel Keep in mind that they are, like they usually do, mining your data. YOU are the product. Your information. What and who you are following. What you post. And they will monetize you.

On a "true" Mastodon server we don't do that. No ads. No tracking of what or who you are following.

So.....whatever works for you. Seems like they haven't Federated yet, or if they have, they are doing it just to themselves (I can't seem to follow a threads account).....which is typical...

@ericdano Hey Eric, thank you very much for your reply! I did forget about how I am the product on their platform. That is something I need to stay aware of. I am not deleting my account here.
@Carrel right? There is some sort of incentive for meta to do things
