@randahl damn it there's a trainspotting reference in here and i just can't make it work at the moment

@randahl 😮 I didn't receive anything about you posting there!

*Storms over to Threads to like and repost*

@ThornwoodOnline thank you.

@randahl #ALT4you Left image shows Mastodon post with 105 boosts and lots of comments. Right image shows Meta Threads post with 1 boost and no comments.

@regendans thank you. Added.

@randahl randahl how much followers do you have in threads ?

@pioneer 12,900.

@randahl I did.

@Eetschrijver @randahl Same here. After the Twitter debacle, no single owned social media is an option anymore. It is silly to get yourself in the same situation just a couple of years later, when the investors want to see a return for their money.

@randahl I was actually just thinking about this as I am getting ready to start a social media account for a band I am involved with. I would prefer to use the fediverse and realized that threads technically uses Activity Pub protocol. I considered using that but I don't trust Meta.

I'll probably use Mastodon and just find a way to automate my posts to other accounts.

@gailen that is what I do — Mastodon is my primary medium, and then I just mirror some of my posts to the commercial platforms.

I hope one day Mastodon grows so much, I can just disregard every Meta platform out there.

@gailen@mastodon.social
Depending on what functionality you need, I'd suggest to get some information about other fediverse-(activityPub)-software, like Sharkey, Friendica, littleFedi, as they offer much more than Mastodon.

I guess Threads is not in the SM business.
Everyone on the planet watches Youtube
