Has Mastodon ever explained why it allows Threads posts to be seen on Mastodon, when Threads does not allow Mastodon posts to be seen on Threads?
This effectively means we have Threads posts showing up in our feed which we can reply to, but the replies are not visible to the original poster on Threads.
To me, that seems to be a confusing user experience — one that punishes users for using Mastodon.

@randahl The Mastodon software does not discriminate based on the source of a message. If it's available in a compatible format, you can access it. Whether to block a source is up to the individual server operators.

@Gargron @randahl And yourself, of course. Since I don't want megaphones in my timeline, I have blocked the Threads server.

@randahl Mind that Threads users do see replies and likes from the fediverse, although regrettably they need to have fediverse sharing enabled to see them even on other people's posts. To my knowledge it's all a work in progress.

@Gargron @randahl Exactly. And in my view, the ones “punished” are Threads users, who see their abilities limited. Mastodon users can see and reply to everything, so I don’t feel like we’re the ones limited or punished. We have total freedom and control.
