discord forums are terrible though. it’s hardly an upgrade from a threads only channel

I feel like I’d be totally fine with ads that can be controlled user end. Like, what if there was a little switch by the video you’re watching to enable ad breaks, directly supporting the creator and the instance. (As long as they’re not baked into the stream so instances can’t force them to be always on.)

A pretty big flaw of downvotes is they’re often not used as a “this is incorrect” or “this doesn’t fit with the post” button, but as a “I don’t like you” button.

if threads does federate(i’ll believe it when i see it) im glad i’ll have a way to interact with irls who don’t know what a mastodon is without having to make an account on fb’s stuff.

if they ever do anything fishy, and they will. i’ll move instances.
