It could prove to be an important move from Meta.
  1. On my Threads profile, I changed my featured link to be my Mastodon profile URL.
  2. Then, on my Mastodon profile, I changed one of the featured links to be my Threads profile URL.
  3. After I saved that change, my Mastodon profile showed a green verification checkmark next to my Threads profile URL. Success!

        Ask yourself this: why have you come to the Fediverse in the first place?

          Some people just went to Fediverse to migrate out of reddit. Might not be aware or still new in the realm of privacy protection.

            I am one of those people who migrated, and I don’t want to be part of any other social media plattform that is run by megacorps. (haven’t found a good content rich alternative to youtube though)

              Invidious exists. While it is still youtube it at the very least respects your privacy.

              I don’t know how futile this battle is, as it’s undeniable that content are still made on platforms hosted my those megacorps. For now I start with privacy friendly frontends. Libreddit for the reddit stuff and piped for youtube.

                It kinda sucks that those megacorps lured the people/youth in with a prospect of fame and money to produce content for them. Turning what was once a creative pasttime into a tedious job.

              Sorry, sorry everyone. I’ll clean that right up.

              Dammit, I thought I’d fully flushed the quantum improbability matrix. Must be those damn infinite beer taps Tennant put in again. I mean, who the hell installs a kegerator on top of a mutliversic server? Last time I buy a used Tardis - this goddamn thing can’t even make it through a decade without spewing wormholes. I am sooo goddamn sick of rounding up stray Daleks.

                In the infinite multiverse, there’s probably a dalek that’s been reprogrammed as a beautician.

                EXFOLIATE!
