Quite excited though. I know and understand people have issues with Meta (who doesn't?) but the wider reach is essential for anyone like me, for game devs, and literally anyone who wants to use social media to reach more people.

Also, being able to follow people on Threads directly here who *don't* want to deal with the Fediverse directly is a big win IMO.

@gamingonlinux I'm fine with it too but I gotta say; seeing this is pretty weird:

A federated post from Mark Zuckerberg's Threads account. "Mark Zuckerberg @zuck@threads.net - First post in the fediverse!" "We're making progress integrating Threads into the fediverse and launching a beta in a few countries that lets people choose to federate their posts. If you see this and turn it on from your profile, you'll see likes from federated platforms appear on your posts here. Mar 21, 2024, 06:14PM - 68 boosts - 103 favorites"

@gamingonlinux I kind of wish it was opt-out instead of opt-in. I haven't found anyone on my threads follow list with it enabled yet.

@binarymelon it's literally only just rolled out in Beta to select countries

@gamingonlinux Yeah, I guess. I'm just a bit anxious. I've been waiting for this since threads launched. My plan was always to use threads until federation and then migrate completely to Mastodon.

@gamingonlinux I concur, not everyone likes joining something totally new, so this aspect will make it that much more easier for reach!
