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.

    Look I don’t want to be combative here, and my sincere apologies if this response comes off that way but here goes

    IMHO this is already the way activitypub works. Platforms that choose to federate, are able to pool their posts and the like. And yes instances can make money off of content posted on other instances. That’s not a bug it’s a feature.

    On the other hand, meta sucks and I’m not sure if I’d really want to federate with them either. So like, idk lol, just spitballing

      100%. The open and public nature of the fediverse is something everyone should be considering every single time they post on a federated platform. I don’t want to federate with meta because ew , but it would be absurd to think that a public platform like this isn’t gonna get scraped to hell anyways.
