    Honestly I think this is good for the fediverse.

    It instantly boosts mastodon and Pixelfed’s reach, which means people won’t dismiss posting there as it never gets seen.

    I would never open a Threads account, but it unlocks seeing content from a lot of people I like who ditched Twitter but didn’t understand mastodon.

    Yes, this can also be Embrace, Extend Extinguish, but I’m happy for the publicity.

    If people don’t like it they can join an instance that defederatrs from Meta and that’s totally fine.

      This sounds like it’s NOT going to increase mastodon and pixelfed’s reach

      it doesn’t sound like you’ll be able to post from Mastodon to Threads

      It looks like they’re only pushing right now, they’re not allowing Threads users to pull content in from the broader fediverse. Threads content gets exposure on Mastodon, but not the other way around.

      It’s funny how “mastodon is too complicated” stops when the instance they pick is Threads.

      🤔
