Eugen RochkoIf you’ve got questions about what interoperability with #Threads means, we wrote this up back in July, and you can still refer to it:

Make no mistake, this is huge for Mastodon. Currently people have to choose between X, Mastodon, and Threads, and network effects play a dominant role in that choice. If we can say, you can access all the folks that went to Threads from a Mastodon account, that makes it a far more attractive option given all of its other perks 😉

🇵🇸@Gargron one thing that just comes to mind is zombie accounts.
Since #greedflation and the other atrocities I have #negativetrust in corporations. This means if they do something like this, I assume malice.
Now I figured what could happen:
- put ads in every 2nd post of #threads to fedi federation
- do federation only reading so you cant see threads posts on mastodon but both on threads = people leave
- spam the fediverse with bot accounts that sway public opinion like facebook

I agree. That makes the problem go away for me. But it doesnt go away for the other, more gullible people.
And that is why this thinking has brought us nothing but harm. Just because the problem goes away for one person does not mean it goes away.
So, i think we should absolutely have a discussion about collectively defederating threads if they misstep - once.
