I just remembered all the discussions about half a year ago about #threads building a bridge to the #fediverse. It seemed like a big deal.
There were calls for preemptive bans based on the Meta's history of bad behavior, and calls for not banning, so people could flee the walled gardens of corporate media and move to the green pastures of the Fediverse.
We here at TLDR opted for a wait-and-see approach. But, frankly., I haven't seen anything.
Did I miss something? If not, then why was this such a non-event?
I feel bad for Uerica, Sylvia, Nicole, Constance, Evangeline, Annie, Celia, Heather, Aggie, Georgie, Colleen, Katie, Melanie and Deborah. Why do parents give their girls first names the same as their last? OH, they're bots making social media worse. Got it.

Follower counts & the active users on a platform **DO. NOT. MATTER.** if the #algorithm doesn't bless your posts.
Let your creative friends know, Threads (and #Twitter / X of course) are not the solution.

More precisely, this is an initiative by @evanprodromou , @ohmallory and @tomcoates .
On their website, they're bragging about "industry support" (sic) by, and "advisors" (sic) from, #Meta and others.
Once again, this makes it clear that some people still allow that "industry" to live as their reference and benchmark in their heads.
Implicitly devaluing what can and should be created without interference by that "industry", and making it seem as if such "support" or "advice" is necessary for some kind of weird "validation" by the adults™. Their footer (see screenshot) merely lists their own Fediverse account - plus their accounts on #X (yes) and #Threads.
It's only a question of time when a few of these "advisors" will be proudly announced as new members "serving" on the team.
lol, oh look, a load of stuff that doesn't happen on Mastodon...

Instagram and Threads moderation is out of control
Instagram and Threads users are complaining about poor moderation that’s deleting accounts and posts. Instagram head Adam Mosseri says he’s “looking into it.”Umar Shakir (The Verge)
#Threads & #bluesky are pretty useless since they lack good support for search and hashtags. #Twitter & #Facebook are full of misinformation, even about the hurricane.

any other reaction than running at a full sprint from a rabid animal means death
if my analogy seems a little dramatic: #meta #threads fully intends the death of #mastodon #fediverse
if again, that seems a little paranoid and hysterical: everyone needs an appreciation of what meta is, what it is driven by, and what it does. as fully evident
