I'm not giving a fuck to the Twitter x Threads fight I already feel great on Mastodon and don't plan on switching again

- Then just smoke 🤙

- I don't care about Twitter or Threads either, I just love watching Musk have a meltdown

  I have no idea why it wasn't more obvious to me that Facebook would do this. It's so obvious now that it is happening.
  
  They have attacked every social network format to date. They'll probably take down Reddit using ActivityPub afterwards, but for now, Twitter is the easiest target.

- Meanwhile I read the feed and get stressed by people (un)consciously installing Threads cr-app on their primary devices w/ stock Android and iOS, despite them having a normal time with literally any other interface to Fediverse.

  how does installing that stress anything? unelss they're opening their mastodon accs on the fb app

- I just spent the last day setting up and browsing mastodon. I love it so much more than Twitter already.

Until you realize Threads goal is to also take down the Fediverse :(

- Let’s hope this fight goes on for a long time and neither of them touch Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse

- They have plan to adopt the same standard "in future". That mean we have plenty of time to check the beast from afar. Not perfect but not an immediate "thread" either.
  
  The problem right now is that ask a s***load of personal information to use the app and if later you want to leave, you can't unless you erase your Instagram account too.

  immediate thread
  
  I know you meant "threat" but that was a nice one

- How is that possible?

  A tactic used by Microsoft and Google in the past:

  Basically they embrace an open standard , extend with proprietary nonsense and then extinguish it with sheer incompetency or greed.

I hope they take each other down.

- why
  
  edit: tf is your problem I don't know the context I don't even know what that @ is supposed to mean

  A lost Lemming?

  The @ thing is Threads, Facebook's Twitter clone

  Because threads is just facebook and facebook is garbage as it is. It doesn't help that they have no respect for people's privacy.

Is that the official threads logo? Damn, that thing is so ugly! Should be an official dictionary definition of overdesigned!

15
- Looks like a boomer tried to handwrite an @ sign.

  Exactly! 😂

Thing is that Threads plans to be able to connect to the fediverse as a whole. So who knows what the future holds for Mastodon.

15
- Once they get enough users, they’ll probably get rid of the Fediverse part of threads and make it just threads
  
  1
- I would see it to believe it

Who does the black logo represents

- "Threads," the new corporate Twitterlike by the same dbag techbro oligarchs who own Facebook and Instagram.
  
  Apparently Twitter is threatening to sue them for hiring up all the coders that Musk was stupid enough to fire.

  Lmao. That's amazing

  Do you habe a source for that? I would have thought Meta has more than enough software engineers for a simple app like this. For all the hard parts about a social media they are already experts with FB and Instagram. Lol

Would be better with a fediverse logo.

Can someone recommend me a good mastodon server?

- I think much like Lemmy you just want to find one that fits with your ideals. Check the rules and whatnot and make sure you are willing to comply with them.
  
  I wouldn't call this a recommendation but personally I went with Fosstodon.
  
  I didn't really look very hard before selecting one of the first few I came across though.

- Here's a list of servers per topic
