    While it is of course disappointing that he’s doing it on threads it is very nice to see how Twitter is slowly starting to move from being market dominant to being just one of many.

    We all hope to see politicians shitpost on Mastodon one day, but it’s obvious why threads is drawing a crowd. Because people have heard of it, and it’s easy to get into.

      Imagine if twitter some day opens its gates and starts federating with everyone. Then the musk takeover would have actually improved the world. Even though it hurt his purse a lot, but that is also an improvement I believe.

        If he can’t nickel and dime every single thing, he won’t do it. Right now the fediverse isn’t very monetised for him to consider. Among social media platform, old twitter was not excellent but open. Under musk, x is insular and lonely…'cause who tf wants to share data with it.
