    I still hate the fact that the same people who said that no one is going to adopt a whole new social network in regards to mastodon suddenly changed their minds when the zuck made a worse version of it.

        Someone needs to piggyback off Metas marketting machine and create a glorified Mastodon instance for Europe called something like OpenThreads. Licence a Mastodon client and customise it to look (and behave) like Threads and federate with Threads.

      It’s because the barrier to entry was lower. Mastodon requires learning about and understanding instances and the fediverse, finding one with good performance and the vibe you want and creating a new account. For threads, you just install the app and log in with your preexisting instagram account. Even users who weren’t interested in the long term would check it out briefly, because the hype is high and it’s easy.
