In general there are two distinct reactions to #Meta:

1) no way, no how -- either because of their history, the strong presence of anti-trans and racist groups on #Threads, belief there's no way to mitigate threats, or whatever. #FediPact is an example of this.

2) acknowledging all those issues but weighing them against potential upsides and considering what criteria make sense. Yours is one of the best-thought-out examples of this I've seen so far.

Here is my NON-Scientific results of #Threads vs #mastondon reach.

My Mastodon account has 630+ Followers, my Threads one has 520+.

Asked both sets to Boost/Repost/Like/Favourite and comment.

Almost ZERO engagement/reach on Threads and massive reach on Mastodon.

I suspected Mastodon would easily win but not by this much.

Oh my

#Threads

I think I found the domain name of #Threads, #Meta's new #Fedi-enabled service, also codenamed #Project92, #P92, and #Barcelona.

URL: https://threads.net
IPv4: 157.240.22.63
IPv6: 2a03:2880:f231:c5:face:b00c:0:43fe (note "face:b00c")

Looking up threads.net returns #Instagram's logo, the title "Barcelona" and "this page isn't available" (probably because it's not open yet).

I'd recommend every #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin in the #FediPact to #FediBlock them before they go live on the #Fediverse!
