Witnessing another occurrrence of the #ReplyGuy anti-pattern this morning inspired me to write some thoughts about this social behavior that is so common on our #Fediverse that is based on #PublicSquare #Microblogging mechanics.
On the #SocialCoding forum I created a category for #SocialExperienceDesign (or #SX) patterns, and the "Reply Guy" #AntiPattern is the first entry in what might be turned into a pattern library collection.

SX: Considering the "Reply Guy" anti-pattern
Introduction I was inspired to write this text after witnessing yet another example of one of the common social patterns frequently seen in public square social media: One of many variants of the “Reply Guy” that play out on the Fediverse.Discuss Social Coding

@david"I can follow and like my THREADS account from Mastodon, but I can't figure out how to follow my Mastodon account on the Threads side"
That's because you seeing your #Threads account on Mastodon is an illusion, a mirage
Open up your Threads account using a real web browser on a laptop or desktop so you can see what's happening
Look at the address bar
The URL will look as though your Threads account is homed on Mastodon, thus:
sfba.social / @zuck
https://sfba.social/@zuck@threads.net
See the top three pinned posts on my profile for more examples
But right now Threads is behind a one-way mirror from Mastodon / the Fediverse
