I’m not giving a fuck to the Twitter x Threads fight I already feel great on Mastodon and don’t plan on switching again
Then just smoke 🤙
I just spent the last day setting up and browsing mastodon. I love it so much more than Twitter already.
Until you realize Threads goal is to also take down the Fediverse :(
Let’s hope this fight goes on for a long time and neither of them touch Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse
They have plan to adopt the same standard “in future”. That mean we have plenty of time to check the beast from afar. Not perfect but not an immediate “thread” either.
The problem right now is that ask a s***load of personal information to use the app and if later you want to leave, you can’t unless you erase your Instagram account too.
immediate thread
I know you meant “threat” but that was a nice one
👍
How is that possible?
A tactic used by Microsoft and Google in the past:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
Basically they embrace an open standard , extend with proprietary nonsense and then extinguish it with sheer incompetency or greed.
This is everywhere and I am sick of seeing it lol (no attack to you)
I feel like this tactic can’t work if we stick to foss options. They can add all their shitty reels/stories/whatever else, if we stick with foss they can do jack shit about it.
Exactly
I hope they take each other down.
Is that the official threads logo? Damn, that thing is so ugly! Should be an official dictionary definition of overdesigned!
Thing is that Threads plans to be able to connect to the fediverse as a whole. So who knows what the future holds for Mastodon.
Once they get enough users, they’ll probably get rid of the Fediverse part of threads and make it just threads
I would see it to believe it
Who does the black logo represents
“Threads,” the new corporate Twitterlike by the same dbag techbro oligarchs who own Facebook and Instagram.
Apparently Twitter is threatening to sue them for hiring up all the coders that Musk was stupid enough to fire.
Do you habe a source for that? I would have thought Meta has more than enough software engineers for a simple app like this. For all the hard parts about a social media they are already experts with FB and Instagram. Lol
Right here you can read about the potential lawsuit against threads.
I believe 9to5mac and others have written as well about this topic
Can someone recommend me a good mastodon server?
I think much like Lemmy you just want to find one that fits with your ideals. Check the rules and whatnot and make sure you are willing to comply with them.
I wouldn’t call this a recommendation but personally I went with Fosstodon.
I didn’t really look very hard before selecting one of the first few I came across though.
Would be better with a fediverse logo.
