Meta promised to make Threads compatible with the decentralized protocol underlying Mastodon. Proponents of interoperable social media can’t agree whether to welcome or fear it.
I agree, that’s the biggest reason I’ve never been able to use Twitter/Mastadon, you either get short mostly superfluous comments or chains of tweets that usually just confuse me as to who was saying what to who 🙈
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Exactly.
I never liked Twitter, so why should I want to use a clone (and, FWIW, that includes Mastadon).
I prefer platforms that are designed for discussion, not for publishing opinions with arbitrarily small character limits.

I do have a mastodon account, but only for keeping tabs on the war in Ukraine and some random posts to do with FOSS.
