Lots of people on Mastodon have been losing their shit over Threads joining the fediverse, so I wanted to give my opinion on this whole shit show.

Here’s a very different take on Threads by a Fosstodon admin.

    I think he’s talking about people on his own instance.
    He’s Fosstodon admin, so pretty sure he knows how federation works.

      Isn’t he also the SO creator? Anyway, I’m sure he understands the technology, yes. And maybe I misinterpreted him. But it sounded like he’s saying that if we don’t federate with Threads, then there’s no point in being on the fediverse, because we’re effectively isolationists”. That’s simply untrue.
