Meta's Threads twitter competitor is now live... what do you think?
i know the fediverse has been pretty split and a lot of big instances (mainly microblogging and mastodon-like softwares, but some lemmy instances are defederating meta too) but what do you think?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've taken a look around and it's pretty early so not a lot of uptake. It will live or die by how many people actively use it. The built in follower base with instagram is pretty enticing. I was surprised to see a reference to the fediverse right up front. Might just be pandering, but we will see!
Use it to link back to Lemmy posts.
Yeah, I was wondering if you could set it to just broadcast, letting people know the Fediverse is your new home now. Throw them a lifeline.
this is my plan as soon as meta federates tbh
im willing to stick it out with their shitty app until they federate if it means i could bring over a few extra friends to the free persons side (:
I appreciate your missionary zeal. I can't yet get up the energy to look at it - there's so much more interesting stuff over on this side of the fence.
I doubt that will be the case.
As much as I like the fediverse, meta has some serious budget to through at UX. They will get people to use their app to interact with the fediverse, and then once they are the biggest instance, they will just defederate.
