   Sometimes we should step back and appreciate just how well Mastodon actually works. Watching this whole #Meta #Threads thing play out, makes it really clear how vital algorithm free #hashtag search is for truly democratized engagement.

     @mastodonmigration Can you expound on this? What about Meta Threads makes this clear to you?

     @pmb Sure. When people identify their posts using the #Threads or #Meta #hashtags, they are discoverable in a chronological feed by searching for (or just clicking on) either of these hashtags. This way everyone's ideas are equally weighted and available to the community. There is no algorithm with it's big finger on the scale.

     @FinchHaven Maybe it's the only way their post can be discovered. 🤷

     I find it particularly enjoyable to read all the people posting “I’m on Threads now, here!!” — on Mastodon

     Just can’t stay away, I guess…

     @nc26 Hear you. This is why it is wise to be wary that they are suddenly going to open up all that content to the fediverse where you could presumably (there is that assume again...) get around their algorithmic feed.

     @mastodonmigration I used threads — it’s surprisingly stable. But the algorithm sucks and I was tired of seeing time wasting nonsense. Just like every meta product outside of WhatsApp.
