Second, threads posted by me and a few members of the Threads team will be available on other fediverse platforms like Mastodon starting this week. This test is a small but meaningful step towards making Threads interoperable with other apps using ActivityPub — we’re committed to doing this so that people can find community and engage with the content most relevant to them, no matter what app they use.
Not that I care much about Mastodon either way, but you had me up to “Go back to Twitter” 😳
Nothing can be that bad, and even if it was, that doesn’t magically make Twitter any less of a teeming shithole, surely?! 🤯
My view on Twitter is that while it’s has shithole parts, there are still interesting and cool people there having interesting and cool conversations. Plenty as far as I can tell. So, depending on your values and how you use social media and how it uses you, I concluded a while ago that it’s not nearly as unreasonable to just stay on or go to Twitter as many here in the Fedi make out.
Truth is there’s just stuff there not anywhere else and if that stuff is what you’re interested in, go for it. This whole new social web thing is kinda complicated and will take a while to shake out.
That’s what I meant by it. And without knowing I have to wonder if Threads is in anyway better at a cultural level?
FWIW, I’m saying this as someone not really on any Corp social media (I have dormant accounts on Twitter and Reddit).
