What just pissed me this morning was The Guardian. Figured them for some kind of ally, being all lefty and corporation-hating, and all those many Facebook-critical stories.

But they've never done a simple "how is this, is it fun" review of Mastodon, ever. But! Today, their top 5 tech stories were all about the exciting new Threads. I nearly unsubscribed.

@RoyBrander @chartier The Guardian had lots of articles about Mastodon when Twitter started to implode. That’s how I heard about it and why I’m here at all.

Missed those. I found two, one with a search, one linked as similar to that:
theguardian.com/technology/202

..the other is an article from April, 'Are people still there'.

Neither one takes a first-person view, as in "I signed up and did this with it". Even the first one is "you can sign up, if you want".

Today's Threads coverage is all but an advertisement, it's so positive.

I take your point, but only part way.

They're also massively Transphobic, if that helps you make the right decision.

Whatever they once were they are now only clinging to that....by a thread.
