There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.

    This article sums it up very well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

    A monopolistic corporation joining a free (not gratis, free as in free software) network is always a hostile takeover.

        Would you consider editing your original post to reflect that :)

      I hate this article since it compares to XMPP. A much more accurate comparison would be seething like E-mail, I believe.

      I get it… I’m likely going to block meta instances from the servers I have whenever I have time to figure out how to.

        I don’t see threads providing any value

        How is the comparison to XMPP lacking?

        Anyways, the same thing is starting to happen to E-Mail as well: http://www.igregious.com/2023/03/gmail-is-breaking-email.html?m=1

          not suprised, E-mail has been on that downward spiral for a while. The only thing keeping that alive is many independent E-mail servers.
