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'll still be able to follow you on Threads. I think Jerry at infosec.exchange made a good call to silence Threads but allow people to still opt-in to follow Threads accounts if they want to. It would be nice if the follows worked both ways though ... I heard people on Threads won't be able to follow Mastodon accounts?

From the comments I've seen it sounds like people on Threads will be able to follow people on fedi.... But the communication will be **only** in that direction, you won't be able to follow them, nor will their responses or reactions make it back to you.
