@ethanz to be honest I think the second point, about the feed being algorithmically flooded with influencers, is so serious that it could singlehandedly prevent the app from having any influence on twitter at all. if this is anything like what their vision for the app is long term, it also causes me to question purely on content grounds whether this thing would provide value to the fediverse. if activitypub on threads were launched tomorrow, it would be like an advertising nuke going off, because that's all threads produces right now
