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 doesnât spy on you, you only see what you want and no other content is pushed to your timeline, etcâŚ
if I was a Threads users, I would move to Mastodon as soon as I find out đ
@thundergod97 âwe totally canât know for sure Meta will be a negative influenceâ are you serious ? Iâve you not heard / read anything about their products for the last 15 years ?
Theyâre not good guys, they never were. Open your eyes.
@Seth You can stop with putting words in my mouth.
Fosstodon fosters free and open software development. That means transparency. That means leaving things open as much as possible.
I fully expect them to be the evil corporation they have been in the last 15 years. I fully expect we will get to a point where they will have to defederate from them.
That's not the default position though. You leave it open until there's no other choice but to close it off.
