Hello Fediverse! Our Threads account is now available to follow anywhere.

@appleinsider@threads.net

@appleinsider @appleinsider@threads.net Is there any reason why I should follow the Threads account over the Mastodon Social account?

@Danweston @appleinsider@mastodon.social @appleinsider@threads.net Good question. The content is likely redundant, but between the two, I'd expect us to eventually push our Mastodon following to Threads. No decision has been made yet though.

I mean, our mastodon account will likely stick around since it's easy to push our RSS feed. So don't expect it to just get deleted. Threads will just have more manual posts, I expect.

Me? I'm sticking to mastodon. I never used threads and now I don't have to.

@HilliTech @Danweston @appleinsider@mastodon.social @appleinsider@threads.net Why would you push your Mastodon to Threads? That's what I worried would happen when threads announced their #fediverse implementation. I'm sorry, but I don't trust Meta not to fool with Threads and possibly either break things or include pushed ads to subscribed accounts.

When a decision is made, let us know - on all platforms.

If threads is final for y'all, I’ll unsubscribe.

Follow

@jann keep in mind that that exact same risk is even more serious outside of threads where any of a bazillion different instances is free to push ads to subscribed accounts.

At least on threads we know where they would be coming from.
