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.
@thundergod97 sure. Don’t get me wrong: if I start being followed by random bots, spammer etc… I will block the whole instance too (as last resource), but being already on Instagram, I can tell you that this rarely happens and when it does I just block the single user.
