    Gross. Wouldn’t use it if they paid me.

    Sly way for the article to be titled. It's almost as if they're trying to mask Meta/Facebook being the owner of it.

    Absolutely. They know that Facebook is uncool and unpopular. The Instagram branding still has some capital with the yutes.

    Edit: I don't mean to say that The Verge is doing this intentionally (maybe, I don't know), but Meta certainly is.

    Can’t stand Meta or Zuck, but I do hope this kills twitter

    It does begin now. Twitter will start to lose people.

    Yeah. Bring my 10 foot pole to beat it down with. I'm not touching that bare handed.

    watches from Mastodon as the cool kids from Twitter switch to being the cool kids on Threads, goes back to reading the always interesting/fascinating/weird federated timeline

    I hope my instance defederates even before they're live on activepub

    On the page showing the app screenshots, it says it will soon be able to interact with mastadon. This is the moment.

    I pay a small sum per month to the Mastodon admin that runs my instance. If it chooses to federate with Threads, I'll consider moving to another instance that doesn't. Facebook is a toxic company and shouldn't be treated any differently than a toxic Lemmy instance.

    Such is the beauty of decentralization! 🎉

    This is my favorite part of the fediverse, because someone on the opposite side could be very excited to finally interact with their more mainstream social circles. I dig it.

    So will we be able to add thread accounts to RSS feeds? After whatever API changes happened my RSS reader had to drop twitter support, and Nitter seems to be down too. I really liked all my local twitter account updates in one place, hoping to reproduce that asap.
