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 many many people are opposed to threads, even just in general. there were instructions circulating yesterday about how to block the entire domain. moving to threads is going to decimate your audience
@Viss @carnage4life It seems to be it is too early for such opposition... is that because Threads is from Meta?

@locksmithprime @carnage4life yes, and nobody trusts them. at all. nobody is happy that they intend to hoover up data, produce ads, train AIs and other stuff people abjectly came to masto to avoid.

also, the relationship is one-way. masto can see threads, threads cant see masto.

so moving to threads means losing the ability to interact with your audience entirely.

@Viss @carnage4life I see. Well, Meta... the whole world uses Whatsup, but I cannot make myself use that app.
@locksmithprime @carnage4life there are several great alternatives to whatsapp, and they have even been in the news several times because they arent as 'secure' as they claim to be
