@matt Every time I look at Threads, it's @tchambers advocating to turn it on for people. Which is good, but this is completely backward.
The whole idea seemed that Meta was building a service from the ground up for federation so that everyone who joins Threads would be automatically in. I wouldn't care if they had some other way like RSS turned on by default, but they don't. It's a silo right now. Geeks will get it, but nobody else.
Maybe they have decided to extinguish without embracing.
