While it doesn’t have all the same features, the #Plemora installation I’m testing seems to work better overall, between the speed and the ability to use the Mastodon app on my phone. Still hoping I can figure out how to update from #Calckey to #IceShrimp as that would be best of both worlds…
They go on to imagine some wonderful or awful scenario where the floodgates are open and #Threads becomes another #ActivityPub app like #CalcKey or #Plemora.
Maybe.... but what you are envisioning is really very unlikely. Threads is entirely algorithm driven. How's that going to work? Plus they have no interest in letting their captured users escape.
Just saying, this smells like another vaporwear marketing strategy. The beauty of selling poorly defined future capabilities is that everyone imagines they will be exactly what they most desire (or fear), and then build expectations and plan accordingly.
It could be some very limited window into the fediverse. Caution not to get too far out over our skis here until we know more about the actual capability.
@mastodonmigration#Meta has plainly stated that #Threads will embrace the #Fediverse & federate with apps like #Mastodon. I understand being cautious about Meta (especially after the issues #Facebook has created), but being super paranoid about clear, concise statements is a bit much.
