@jynersolives I don't think anyone* was arguing that it would happen within a few months. The alarm is that Threads is the beginning of an Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish campaign, and those typically take years. We shouldn't expect any major problems this soon.
okay, maybe a few overly-alarmist people who didn't really understand the situation, but not by any means the main bulk of people against Threads/Meta
@jynersolives I think worries about threads are still valid, but Fediverse is built to withstand some of that, and for some of other problems we will have to build tools.
Fact I can follow someone on Threads still feels amazing and I hope this sticks.
@peteriskrisjanis As long as we cannot properly have a conversation with someone on Threads, this all remains rather uninteresting. But even then I would guess the different conversation styles and cultures would irritate Threads users. It's just very different if you are "here" on the Fedi, with your interface. You will treat everyone as if they were also "here". While Threads people, with a weird mix of Twitter/Insta culture, would scratch their heads about those weirdos with binocles.
