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.

Threads proposes to opt out from Fediverse sharing every 30 days (in addition to a one-sided, pessimized implementation of Fediverse features).

How am I seeing so many #threads accounts federating but when I post from my #threads account it doesn't show up here so weird...

26x followers! Bupkis.

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.

Don’t say ‘vote’: How Instagram hides your political posts

WaPo #tech columnist Geoffrey A. Fowler investigates how #Meta’s #Instagram, #Facebook & #Threads suppress #content related to the #election. Even discussing how to #vote isn’t safe.

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...

The #fediverse has been better than other social media options for following info on the #hurricane. Follow hashtags like #HurricaneMilton, #Milton, #Tampa, #Florida, #flwx.
#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
