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…
So you've joined Mark Zuckerberg's new app that uploads your entire phone. That's cool. Have fun.
You may have heard of Mastodon. We are something different. A little more complicated and a lot more egalitarian. No billionaires sucking up your financial and health info here. Just good honest friendly human engagement.
If you grow tired of vacuous celebrity posters, and algorithm selected content, give https://spreadmastodon.org/ a try.
@wild1145 Certainly understand and sympathize with your opinion. Was trying to condense the invitation to a single post and this seemed the best way to do it, but encourage people to explain the entire #Fediverse value proposition to #Threads users too. And it's not just #Mastodon either. Lots of cool alternatives like #Calckey#Plemora and #Pixelfed. Problem is not wanting to overwhelm people who are already leery of complexity with too much information.
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.
