I don't think Meta is that stupid. I suspect it'll be more like that their own software will show ads between the posts on their own servers. We wouldn't see this from here.

And even then they have to be careful since they confirmed in the news that their software will support people moving away to other instances. So, if they serve too many ads, it is bye bye users.

Speculation from my side, but hey.. everybody's still speculating now.

@freemo @skyblond

@gojonnes Ah yes. But the app launched today 6 july? Not yesterday?

@olives If you already use instagram and it's an one-click registration to Threads to get a Twitter-alternative...

Just swept the garden. The only traces left of the storm are various stray leaves between my plants. Whenever it's gorgeous gardening weather I'll bother cleaning those up as well.

@skyblond Aha. In that case, when I glance at it, I seem to be able to spot:
B, D, F, G, I, J, O, T.

Hey, cool, at least I could read IDIOT!
Oh wow, BIGOT as well.
BIGFOOT.

Damn, this must secretly be an American font. :P

@freemo I think the half-r style is preferable with this overall look.

@olives The joy of reading in reversed chronological order. Got my question answered. ;)

@skyblond
I'm not sure you're supposed to see a J or an X in 'New York Times'. ;)

@freemo

@atomicpoet It's pretty hard to try to get the last achievements in this game. I think I still have 3 to go.

There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today:

@atomicpoet Is there a summary somewhere in text? I'm curious.

@lydiaconwell Maybe boring, but it is clear. And confirms what I thought that other admins who are screaming bloody murder are kind of overreacting. :P
