I was wondering why I can’t follow people from Threads on Mastodon and found out it’s because the server I’m on has blocked interoperability with Threads.
Wow, so what are my options here? Nag the admins? Switch my account to a different server? What do I lose if I do that? Which one do I switch to? 🤔

It sounds like if I switch servers on Mastodon then I’ll lose my post history. Given that I expect I’ll just stop posting on Mastodon when Threads fediverse integration is done and instead will ask Mastodon users to follow my Threads account.
This actually helps consolidate my text-based social media accounts down to one.
@carnage4life I don't want to interact with threads bc I'm afraid of embrace-and-extend like Google Chat did to XMPP. I won't follow your account on threads, which makes me sad bc I really enjoy your content.
I realize I'm only one person, but maybe if you hear enough pushback, you'll reconsider. Ultimately, you do you tho. ❤️
