@app_priori @jacktherippah I would never put anything past Facebook's intentions and the reactions of some Mastodon users. I think a good chunk of Mastodon users would still go back to a centralized network and might see Threads as a way to have both worlds ... until the other shoe drops.
Well that's because Mastodon has many shortcomings. Like the search sucks. It's hard to find people to follow without asking people for recommendations. Mastodon is scarcely a Twitter replacement; it feels like it was built to create extremely insular communities. Like Gab and Truth Social run on Mastodon's software.
@app_priori I sular communities that can federate. That's the draw for me, but may not be for others. I think I'm done with a Twitter-like experience but I know a lot of other Twitter "refugees" just will not roll with the new experiences. And recreating somewhere where news and information can be diseminated. I mean it seems like it would be an easy technical problem to solve and I'm surprised that it hasn't happened already.
Anyways lol I'm rambling
