I know that #Threads is going to just explode. My wife installed it and is already posting.. She would have never signed up for a Mastodon sever.. and that is fine too.

I think if #Meta follows through with #ActivityPub it will be great for #Mastodon. If you don't want to join #Threads you can still communicate with ppl that would never join #Mastodon. It also provides a gateway for ppl if they want to leave #Threads in the same way ppl left AOL for the wider Web.

So many people do NOT want to have anything to do with the fediverse, and you can't make them want to. Some will try and then abandon Threads, and just fall back on FB.
