   But I’m confused… Mastodon gGmbH and Meta Platforms, Inc. are besties according to Mastodon gGmbH CEO.¹

   There must be some mistake.

     @aral I see tones of Threads's posts under #Pixelfed hashtag. Seems Meta is not muting them at all?

     @aral You could say that PixelFed is a competitor of Mastodon :neocat_laugh_nervous:

     Soooo... could be even within the interest of our Mastodon gGmbH CEO :neocat_googly_blep: /hj

     @stinerman Because Mastodon rolled out the red carpet. But sure, I’m just shit-stirring for clicks. I’ll save you from wasting any more of yours.
