     well, I will stay with the fediverse. FYI...mastodon is a galaxy in the fediverse wheel. it is not the fediverse. the fediverse is way bigger than the galaxy.

     I am comfortable domiciled on a friendica instance. I wave good luck to you as you head over to the other side. I never had fb, so as you can see. I don't give 2 shits about fb or its properties.

     @sammi @davidrevoy I don't think it's cool, I'm evaluating it from a perspective of which one people are more likely to swap over to, and given Threads model, I think that as of the moment, more people are likely to swap over to it than to Mastodon, even if I'd prefer people swap over to Mastodon myself.

     @davidrevoy @nyaeko I get what you're saying after all those years, what innovation and how compelling is it to onboard and sustain fedizens for the broader fediverse. Well, one thing thats different is money. facebook sunk a lot of money into copying twitter. its basically a clone. what happened to usa soo smart, they dont copy and steal IP like some others? yeah right, only when it suits the usa. hogwash, hypocrisy.

     fbthreads is basically toxic facebook with a different face (get face...lol). consent for zero privacy, data harvesting, fb taking ownership of posted images (fb tos).

     so if you think thats kool....your funeral...facebook is bad for mental health. it's toxic

     @sammi @davidrevoy Yeah, I understand that, but at the same time, that doesn't really matter to content creators or companies. Even if Threads is artificially inflating it's numbers, it's still more appealing for an entity like a content creator or company to move over to with the 30m+ users than Mastodon only having 13m even after a 7 years of operation. By contrast, Discord already had well over 100m users after 7 years of operation. I don't mean to sound doomer-ish, I'm just wondering how Mastodon is supposed to compete with behemoths?

     @davidrevoy But all in all, despite the horrible Meta tracking, in one day Threads got more users signed up than Mastodon has since it's launch, and more than the entire Fediverse in general.

     @nyaeko @davidrevoy

     not really organic signup per se, just facebook users enabled added feature in instagram. so not really the same as fediverse actual signup process. apples to oranges comparison.
