So it begins.
Not in the EU fortunately.
It is available in Canada, unfortunately 😩.
I’m sure it will come to the EU eventually. Probably sooner rather than later.
Only in the app stores, once you grab the apk in android it works also in EU.
The majority of people will not look into doing that. A lot of people asked me if I had a Samsung or Apple charger. For them, Samsung did its own thing like Apple. They didn’t know Samsung was Android
Sure just saying that to underline that per se the EU is not blocked.
Gross. Wouldn’t use it if they paid me.
Sly way for the article to be titled. It’s almost as if they’re trying to mask Meta/Facebook being the owner of it.
Absolutely. They know that Facebook is uncool and unpopular. The Instagram branding still has some capital with the yutes.
Edit: I don’t mean to say that The Verge is doing this intentionally (maybe, I don’t know), but Meta certainly is.
Can’t stand Meta or Zuck, but I do hope this kills twitter
Yeah. Bring my 10 foot pole to beat it down with. I’m not touching that bare handed.
Only ten feet? You’re bold.
watches from Mastodon as the cool kids from Twitter switch to being the cool kids on Threads, goes back to reading the always interesting/fascinating/weird federated timeline
I hope my instance defederates even before they’re live on activepub
It does begin now. Twitter will start to lose people.
No.
Tried it and the timeline was a hell. It worse than Twitter’s recommendation tab. At least Twitter’s recommendation tab is filled with people with same interest like you, but Thread’s timeline filled with people I don’t know and not even have same interest with me.
I only follow Japanese account, yet the timeline filled with people speaking language other than Japanese.
On the page showing the app screenshots, it says it will soon be able to interact with mastadon. This is the moment.
I pay a small sum per month to the Mastodon admin that runs my instance. If it chooses to federate with Threads, I’ll consider moving to another instance that doesn’t. Facebook is a toxic company and shouldn’t be treated any differently than a toxic Lemmy instance.
Such is the beauty of decentralization! 🎉
This is my favorite part of the fediverse, because someone on the opposite side could be very excited to finally interact with their more mainstream social circles. I dig it.
Yep. I’m going to watch who federates and who doesn’t. Not staying on there if they do.
