Bottom line: is threads a potential entry-point into the fediverse for a lot of people who otherwise would not be aware/ interested? ABSOLUTELY YES.
Does that benefit offset the catastrophic harm it will do by overwhelming the fediverse with corporate interests, stacking nonprofits with Meta-friendly officers, and exerting leverage on Activity Pub development? NO WAY.

Elon, my guy, stop trying to make another Pizzagate.
When the water is just right.
The exception is if it’s open source and can save thousands of people two seconds.
The problem with comparing “engagement” across platforms is that it is never apples to apples. My experience on Mastodon has been that the engagement is lower in quantity, but much higher in quality. The number of meaningful and thoughtful engagements is much higher. The number of enduring connections is much higher.
If you want to interact with people who are seeking your exact content, if you want to build fidelity, if you want more meaningful comments and to build community, there is no better place I’ve found than Mastodon.
Social mass media favors “influencers” who create content that has broad appeal, but no depth or meaningful engagement, or else ragebait that attracts conflict and repetitive comments.

I hate to break it to you, but that almost certainly came from some karen that didn’t want their individual son or daughter to be reading it. So they raised a big fuss with the teacher for principle to get the books banned in your classroom.
If you start following hashtags, then you find interesting people. There are also curated lists that you can sign up for. That will introduce you to a lot of new content.
Not the point, but it’s so weird to me that this is the dad of Sam Reich from Dropout
Please fediblock.
There are 200 mil. Threads users, and 10 mil. in the fediverse. Meta has been unable to meet basic federation assurances, is unable to guarantee moderation, is unable to detect and remove bots reliably, unable to guarantee basic user protections, unable to reliably detect and remove actions like doxxing, harassment, stalking, ban evasion, brigading, etc. etc.
Federating with threads means giving up on these basic protections for users and being overrun with threads users. When there is ONE instance that serves 95% of the users, federation has failed. What happens when Meta engineers start submitting pull requests to the AP protocol? What happens when they fork it to add their own “features?”
Federating with Threads is bad for the present and the future of the fediverse. We need to see more government organizations, universities, and journalists joining and spinning up instances. I want to see @POTUS@whitehouse.gov, @bucky@wisc.edu, and @AndersonCooper@cbsnews.com
Is that how you set up chrome?
That’s what Ladybird is trying to do.
I didn’t know that each browser accesses different content on a different internet. I’ll have to check that out. /s
AI generating this right now!
Edit: I should not have done that.
It’s Mastodon. I use Moshidon
Thanks, I hadn’t considered that!
Yes, an important point, as I mentioned! However, the question was if there is a reason to use mbin if you are primarily interacting with Lemmy.
My question was if there is any drawback to it. From what I’ve seen (at a purely superficial level) mbin is perfectly capable of taking full advantage of what Lemmy has to offer.
Thanks, I found it here.
Some if them are hosted directly on instances like a.lemmy.world or photon.lemmy.world. Others are hosted separately, but allow you to login from most any server, like tesseract.dubvee.org,
Before billion dollar companies move in, we need to see governments, universities, and journalists on the platform.
