I'm now following @mosseri!
@simon One thing I noticed on his intro video is that he mentions that "ActivityPub support will let people come to Threads and move later to other servers".
For all the talk about rejecting Threads, maybe we can look at this as a chance for business and influencers to have a stepping stone out of the walled gardens? First, go to threads then create their own instance.
Also, I'm really wondering what type of moat Facebook could build to avoid this.
@raphael@mastodon.communick.com @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net I suspect that the effect in general would be the opposite. A lot of people already join mastodon.social and kid themselves that they're getting the full fedi experience, as it were
@evelyn @raphael Are they not? I'm running my own instance, and I often feel that I'm missing out on the full fedi experience compared to if I was on mastodon.social or another larger instance
The thing where I only see replies to other posts if they are from or to someone I directly follow is still a big problem for me
