TLDR - Threads made Facebook-y decisions right out of the gate.
I went to the article expecting rage inducing decisions based on your comment, but your TLDR has no relation to the article whatsoever.
The article is pretty glowing about Threads and Mastodon, and its author seems to be excited by them being connected through federation. They seem hopeful that they can use Mastodon to continue to enjoy their Threads communities.
They also claim that the default Threads experience is way better than the default Mastodon one, especially for the average user, but the API of Mastodon makes for a way better experience in terms of third party clients and tools.
They were able to consume the Threads content chronologically instead of through the algorithmic For You feed that none of us want.
Generally this is the first article posted I've seen that was talking about this from a UX perspective, as well as from a Threads user's perspective, and I found it interesting to read.
It boggles my fucking mind that Meta is being allowed to crash this party with such seemingly little resistance.
The idea is to show normies on Threads that it's better over here without so the ads and shit. Let Meta introduce them to the fediverse.
Meta doesn't take your posts, it only federates out.
Today.
Yeah, we need another blog post once things change.
Fuck threads, fuck Meta, fuck zuck
