@darrylxxx@mastodon.ieHas anyone got any ideas of how Mastodon and Threads will work together in the future. I have an account on both, and find myself attracted to Threads due to the sheer number of interesting users. But I hate creepy corporate surveillance. Will I be able to access Threads user base from Mastodon and ditch my Threads account?
@darrylxxx That is supposedly be the idea. But we have no idea what Meta's intentions are.
And given Meta's track record, instances (including Mastodon.ie) are going to be defederating from Threads once it launches so you won't be able to interact with users on there.
@padraig thanks for that. Interesting conundrum for my use - I was hoping to have my cake and eat it. Running with Mastodon and accessing Threads without the tracking. Oh well.
@darrylxxx If they follow through and what they've said they will do with federation, you'll be able to follow people from MAstodon using the user at threads dot net format just like following people on any other federated instance. And vice versa for Threads users following people on Mastodon instances.
I don't know if you'll need to keep a Threads account or not. I plan to, but I will do all my following of Threads users from Mastodon dot social.
@ianRobinson it seems that @mastodonie will not be federating with Threads so it may not be possible for me without changing server. I'm in two minds about that. I'd love to be able to connect with people on Threads but not with tracking, though that may not be possible.
@darrylxxx I'm happy that dot Social will federate and see how things go.
