@gulovsen I see the reverse. This is a huge opportunity.

“Threads or Mastodon” is a false dilemma for Masto users. People on the fediverse are less likely to jump solely to Threads.

On the flip side, a lot of Threads users saw the beta announcement and said “what the heck is the fediverse?” They received good answers from people like @evan. If they’ve entered the beta, they can see engagement from the fediverse, but they just get a notification that says “someone liked this on the fediverse.”

There’s a huge opportunity for free advertising. Every like of a threads.net account is a ping to someone who probably isn’t here, and they need to start a fedi account to experience the fediverse fully since Threads is just sending one way traffic.

Also, given I’ve seen my threads post take 7-30 minutes to pop up here, and the verification seems to be buggy, incremental integration seems necessary.
