Steve Troughton-SmithYeah… Meta’s Threads instantly has a whole bunch of people and accounts I wish I could follow here. It's like the missing puzzle piece to complete this place and allow things to stay chill here while that gets all the mainstream drama. I hope they stick with it long term — they have an unmissable opportunity to break the status quo. Mastodon support can't come soon enough

@kaplag @lil5 I wouldn’t say “any price”. Vision Pro would be amazing at $299! There is value in the Vision Pro—the level of immersion is unmatched and makes it incredible for videos and calls from what I’ve heard. The new widescreen Mac virtual display mode also seems to be a killer feature according to many. I’ve only demo’d the Vision Pro, but I think its main issues are price, lack of apps/content, and lack of other Vision Pro users to have shared experiences. You can fix these problems largely by dropping the price to kickstart the app and social ecosystem, although it doesn’t fix everything. Still, I think there’s a lot of value there.
@lil5 Vision Pro is discontinued?!
Threads may just be the bridge to corporations, celebrities, media, customer support et al that Mastodon may never pick up on its own. Entire communities that just have no interest in moving here. As long as it /remains/ open/interoperable, that's a good thing. Meta is free to do whatever it likes over there that would never fly here, but may be *necessary* to build a well-rounded service of the like that can fully replace what came before. Real content, not just bots that repost from elsewhere
@renwillis I haven’t seen that in real life…couple YouTube videos, but I doubt their authenticity too.
@renwillis pretty sure this is a troll

@viticci These "boring" applications of AI are actually the best way to bring it to the masses! It's truly useful in new ways and requires minimal effort to figure out
