This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

    You can follow @user@instance or @community@instance on Mastodon. But you just get blasted by every post and comment, one by one, in unthreaded CHRONOLOGICAL order.

    So while you can do it, the question is… should you?

      Ok, that was my experience. I haven’t found a great context/use case for it yet.

      It does seem a client could be made that uses the functionality. Or a purpose deployed instance or community could make use of it too.

      But I agree, it’s hard to imagine a good use. And your point still stands about how panicking is unhelpful.
