I had a few "I will send you $5000 etc. "in replies i viewed. blocked every one. Even so, Threads seems remarkably spam free, and civil. I'm pretty happy with it.
I was disappointed to see the recent "federation isn't going to happen any time soon" comments which seemed to walk back the initial appeal of Threads. I'm not going to join Threads, but I would love to be able to talk with friends there who didn't migrate to Mastodon.
I'm pretty convinced that they are hell-bent on federating, if only because it solves so many obvious and difficult problems for them around content moderation and antitrust. To get there they're gonna have to solve a lot of data privacy problems, though. That's gonna take some time — but if they renege I will of course be all over it.
I will live vicariously through your experience. I will not ever join or spend time on a Meta property.
Welcome back from holiday!
thank you!! good to be back
I’ve enjoyed BlueSky’s feed control more than I thought I would. I want it to be the new standard.
the power of decentralized protocols! I'm a fan too
Are "#"'s on their road map? I miss being able to follow communities . . .
I don't think they've actually said! I wouldn't be surprised if they looked into other ways to promote discovery
It needs a web app, desperately.
Yeah, I think that's very high on their roadmap.
