Lots of people on Mastodon have been losing their shit over Threads joining the fediverse, so I wanted to give my opinion on this whole shit show.

Here’s a very different take on Threads by a Fosstodon admin.

    Why spend the money up front? That’s just bad business.

    Yeah agreed. They’re building a multi-million dollar social network - why spend all that money up front when they could have just installed small anonymous Pleroma on Raspberry Pi for under 100 bucks if they’d wanted to mine our data.

    I don’t think fedi is their “target”.

      I don’t think fedi is their “target”.

      I don’t think scraping posts is their “target”
