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.

“wait and see how it shakes out, then decide”

look how Cambridge Analytica shook out lmao. Meta has committed extreme, large scale crimes on every platform. How can you expect anything different here?

I have a welcoming house. But I don’t invite known criminals and abusers into it until there’s a problem.
