Gregory's Server@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.

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

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.
