There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.

I made a mistake, it was Fosstodon.

Which means that they probably proposed the same offer to Mastodon and they likely accepted.

That’s a really hot take. It could be that Eugene - exactly as he says, thinks wide adoption of ActivityPub is a hood thing and that federation is robust enough to handle any potential threat from Threads - which isn’t even federating yet.

Why jump straight to ‘the guy is clearly corrupt and has taken money from Meta’?
