Maintaining both a account and account is rough sometimes. Why did I do this to myself.

Jeezus - as if it wasn't bad enough that every other toot mentions Twitter, now every toot that isn't talking about Twitter is talking about Threads. If Mastodon had feelings, I think it would be feeling pretty hurt right now.

(And yes, I get the irony that I've just made a whole toot talking about Twitter and Threads while complaining that people toot about Twitter and Threads ... sigh)

I moved from over to last week... Much like I said here when I first got this account... it very much feels like the early internet.

Know what else it made me realize?

Redditors are fucking ASSHOLES.

I think I shall stay here and Lemmy, where true conversations can be had as opposed to snarky responses to... literally everything... for no good goddamn reason.

Even more reason your business should be on mastodon with their own instance

Imagine thinking would pay or a dime when in two hours they’ve crushed us completely. The amount of influencers, celebrities, brands, and politicians on is staggering

Can anyone explain to me why people seem so scared/apprehensive/apathetic about but are falling all over themselves waiting for ? I’m on both (I like checking out all the toys) but I don’t get it. Is it pure marketing/hype? Like people want something like “old Twitter that doesn’t suck” so they think BlueSky will be that because it’s Jack Dorsey? Is that it? Are people really so mystified by Mastodon “instances” and “where to sign up”?

already has 2 million signups in the first two hours!

I am seeing many sign up for Threads as well. I believe will do what I had hoped & would do: bring & to the .

It will be interesting seeing the community interact with once Threads activates support.

You know, I'd like to help fundraise for a / / ad campaign. TV ads, radio ads, Twitter and Instagram ads (although good luck with that, and also yikes), a Times Square jumbotron, anywhere that will get people talking and help spark some word-of-mouth. Bring people to the light side :)

NEW FEATURE: On Veganism Social, you can now add another server to your Community / Local timeline.

The feature is not perfect. For a post to show, someone on our server needs to follow the author first.

We're just testing this out for now, but may allow adding more than one additional server in the future.

You can find the setting in your Preferences -> Other page. Feedback is needed!

When I read "not available in the EU", how I interpret it is "your personal data is fucked".

Not today, Zuck. 🖕

So this is very interesting

I'm not going to doxx anyone, but I clicked on a Threads link someone I Follow here posted, and I can see...

...everything

I can see their posts

I can look at Replies (they're unthreaded -- off in a different column)

I can click off into the profile of one of the people who has replied

I can scroll down their posts and their Replies

Someone tell me why need to federate with again?

So we can post and reply?

uh...

That's it?

wrath, to mastodon

are there any bot accounts on that post cute animals etc... literally the only thing I'll miss from twitter

Why don't block filters work on the Federated timeline? It's maddening, there are somethings I do not want polluting my braincase while also wanting to monitor federated accounts which might have something of interest.

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:

Given have a habit of building up tracking profiles on non-users, it's a bit disingenuous to say that users who federate with them won't face privacy issues...

I made a mistake, it was Fosstodon. They told Meta to fuck off. https://hub.fosstodon.org/assets/images/meeting-with-meta-email.webp

Mastodon is 100% a competitor to , and if I were , I would watch my back since everything Meta does is only for the benefit (or the endgame is) for themselves and their market share. Best case scenario would for Meta to extinguish Mastodon and have everyone go to .

I do not understand why Mastedon is downplaying the very likely scenario of Meta EEE'ing the shit out of ActivityPub once they get people to migrate to Threads
