Nothing, a lot of people are just really antsy about Threads “invading” Mastodon in some EmbraceExtendExtinguish approach.

Which could happen, but also ignores the reality that it’s basically just not worth their effort. Assuming they can grow big, they’re so big they no longer care, and just do AP support as a lulz for the programmers. In fact this ‘too big to even take notice’ is a far bigger problem for Meta than Mastodon (specifically) ever could be as it makes them easy to blindside.

Ask yourself this: why have you come to the Fediverse in the first place?
Show threadBrisaLunaAug 10, 2023
Some people just went to Fediverse to migrate out of reddit. Might not be aware or still new in the realm of privacy protection.
Show threadmacnielAug 10, 2023
I am one of those people who migrated, and I don’t want to be part of any other social media plattform that is run by megacorps. (haven’t found a good content rich alternative to youtube though)

I don’t know how futile this battle is, as it’s undeniable that content are still made on platforms hosted my those megacorps. For now I start with privacy friendly frontends. Libreddit for the reddit stuff and piped for youtube.

It kinda sucks that those megacorps lured the people/youth in with a prospect of fame and money to produce content for them. Turning what was once a creative pasttime into a tedious job.

Invidious exists. While it is still youtube it at the very least respects your privacy.
