As you’ve probably heard, Threads (a fairly new social network from Facebook’s parent company Meta) is testing integration with the fediverse. Depending on how you look at it, it’s a great opportunity, a huge threat, or both!
Back in May and June, when Threads’ first announced their plans, there were quite a few polls on Mastodon about people’s reactions, most showing opinions split roughly equally. How do people feel today?
People are scared because they don’t know what will happen. It’s basically conservatism at play and “the others” getting into a platform. Reality is - nothing of substance will happen, other than more users being able to communicate.
