as long as the mastodon integration poo poo does roll around i will enjoy the weird fragmentation that will follow as the main instance and most activity is meta-owned

i mean, i don't expect that people here will *particularly* care, but the kind of crypto-libertarian who is really into mastodon solving all kinds of things by the clever technology of no one controlling anything will no doubt have opinions.

threads is built on mastodon, and if it does wind up integrating with it one can through the brilliance of open source and decentralization likely expect non-meta mastodon to now in appearance and function become off-brand instagram clients.

people spent a lot of time trying to guess what urls threads would use so they could pre-emptively block it from their servers, and there was a lot of hollering about how meta is going to absorb mastodon if "we don't do something". there's also a lot of people panicking about normies joining the fediverse and "do we really want those people here?". mastodon is definitely a big ol HOA

yeah threads right now is not attractive to me. i still like it because it will get celebs and institutions off twitter which will hurt elon

if in the future i can read threads posts using mastodon apps that mimic the tweetdeck experience that will be amazing

Okay, impressions after a few hours:

- Shitloads of people are joining. Half the folks who follow me on Instagram are also now following on Threads.
- There's no option for a chronological timeline. Not even the equivalent of Twitter's "Following" tab. Basically a deal-breaker.

Lots of scantily clad women and sports. Not sure why, since I stopped using instagram when it stopped showing my friends' posts like 4 years ago.

It seems like Threads is really big on showing you posts that your friends/people you’re following have replied to. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal (I think that Twitter even does this), but unfortunately this feature is how I am learning that two of my Instagram mutuals are total simps. They are constantly leaving “looking good! 😘” replies on all these hot guys’ thirst trap photos. Thus, all those thirst traps are showing up for me, too. There are more abs and bulges on my Threads feed right now than at a circuit party

I just don't like my social media showing them to me randomly! It's not like they're hard to find on the internet. I guess it's because I'm not attracted to individual people, but naked people are arousing.
