A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping mall says ‘if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit’. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate landscape.
I’m very interested to see where this goes.
I don’t think Threads poses a threat to Mastodon. It’s (mostly) a different user base. However, I do think Threads can knock out Twitter.
I’ve got my popcorn out.
Me too. I’m betting on Threads being the last nail in the coffin for Twitter. My second bet and extremely unpopular opinion is that Threads will be a good thing for Mastodon.
I do not have an Instagram account and will not be joining Threads either, but i am cautiously optimistic.
