Meta promised to make Threads compatible with the decentralized protocol underlying Mastodon. Proponents of interoperable social media can’t agree whether to welcome or fear it.

    To me, threads is inconsequential. It’s just another twitter clone

    Exactly.

    I never liked Twitter, so why should I want to use a clone (and, FWIW, that includes Mastadon).

    I prefer platforms that are designed for discussion, not for publishing opinions with arbitrarily small character limits.

      I agree, that’s the biggest reason I’ve never been able to use Twitter/Mastadon, you either get short mostly superfluous comments or chains of tweets that usually just confuse me as to who was saying what to who 🙈

      I do have a mastodon account, but only for keeping tabs on the war in Ukraine and some random posts to do with FOSS.
