Yesterday I posted the same post about my new film to both Mastodon and Threads.

On Mastodon, my post was boosted 105 times and had a flurry of activity. On Threads: 1 boost.

Because on Threads, if you mention something on the competitive platform YouTube, the Threads algorithm kills your content.

Choose the honest social medium. Choose Mastodon.

@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 โ€” 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.

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.

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