@Gargron the rub will be boosting posts that come from threads. Just like most people on mastodon don't like to see posts with links to Xitter, they won't want to see boosts that include twitter accounts.

@timo21 People don’t like seeing links to Twitter on here because it’s a non-interoperable platform and they are one way and commonly not official. That’s the opposite of the Threads situation.

@Gargron
I left Meta years ago(then twitter a year ago) because of the spread of hate. Don't want to encounter it again. There are a lot of nice peoplehere. This will be bad. Sorry.

@Gargron @timo21 "People don’t like seeing links to Twitter on here because it’s a non-interoperable platform" -- People don't like seeing links to T/X here bc it's run by a fascist nutjob

@sciencewrighter @timo21 I have been here for 7 years. People didn’t like seeing links to Twitter here before 2022.

@Gargron @timo21 OK, valid, I'll rephrase. People ALSO don't like seeing links to T/X here bc it's run by a fascist nutjob. 😘

Oof. That's a poor assumption.

I don't want to see Twitter in my feed because I don't want to (even incidentally) support Twitter's UNETHICAL owner.

Same for Zuck.I left FB long ago because of his UNETHICAL behavior.

Aside from Zuck's willingness to enable genocide--cuz' profit, he tried to sell depressed kids' info to advertisers--cuz' profit. Kids. FFS.

A whole lot of people care more about the ethics than the "interoperability."

Screenshot from a Wired article (2017) that states: "But earlier this month, The Australian uncovered something that felt like a breach of the social contract: a leaked confidential document prepared by Facebook that revealed the company had offered advertisers the opportunity to target 6.4 million younger users, some only 14 years old, during moments of psychological vulnerability, such as when they felt "worthless," "insecure," "stressed," "defeated," "anxious," and like a "failure."

@Gargron @timo21

I think it would be naive to assume that anyone here would like us to federate with X, for example.

I don't really see any difference between X and meta.

There is so much more to this than interoperability. Both Twitter and Meta have strengthened the spread of disinformation and the forces that endanger democracy on an industrial scale. Mastodon with its different model is a fundamental alternative to that - and for a lot of people that‘s why they invest time and effort here, not there. Once connected, Mastodon won‘t be a systemic alternative any more, like an organic food coop becoming a Walmart stall.
