   As with most things, my opinion of Threads integration to the Fediverse is very nuanced.

   On one hand, I enjoy the idea of being able to engage and interact with the wider social web. On the other hand, the sheer amount of Threads users makes me worry that Fediverse will soon be just like corporate social media sites.

   I don't want to be lost in the mix of millions of posts, with hardly any engagement.

   Also, Mastodon will be adding "limit replies" soon enough and that's bad for a number of reasons, the biggest being misinformation...😬

   I am still VERY cautiously optimistic. However, if I start noticing my engagement fall off a cliff, I'll be immensely sad.😔

     @ppb1701 If a post gets popular, I can see someone not wanting to "promote" hostile replies, false information, etc.

     However, AP is already thinking about a solution so that if you block someone, their replies will be removed from your post.

     The other reasons for using it just all lead back to "I want to spread lies without being checked".

     @BeAware I still don't understand "limited replies." There is mute, block, filters, and I'm pretty sure you mute a conversation. Just seems redundant.
