From what I found, a lot of the people who join Threads, wouldn't have even looked into joining the Fediverse in the first place. If anything, Threads is bringing the concept of the Fediverse to more people and some of those people may find that Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse could be what they prefer, especially if you can still talk with your family and friends on here.

Threads are stuck behind dealing with their investors as we can push the Fediverse with new updates all the time

It's a similar dream I have. People need to jump ship and go towards the Alternatives.

Really hope it doesn't get delayed but also wish for both the staff not to have mental health issues or us to get another unpolished game released to us.

Yeah, Just don't post something you'll regret, it's called Accountability.

Easier to get fediverse users on there over everyone else from what I’ve found. People can be stubborn

Currently no, but protocols and things are being worked on including one by the PixelFed creator called Sup!. Maybe one day we will have a good messaging system between the fediverse.

The easiest thing to use what isn’t decentralised but is secure would be Signal for the moment. Especially as they rolled out usernames instead of using your phone number

I know I’d at least like all my contacts using the fediverse as I hate having to switch apps to see what people are up to.

Yeah, I think that's the conclusion we have come to. Donations are what makes the Fediverse great, I guess it just might be nice to make it easier to display / click on in the future.

Isn't most websites?

Threads is instagrams version of mastodon / twitter. Even know you can login with instagram it does bring it mainstream

You compared it to something that made new jobs with elections.

You may not need to work, but plenty of people do, and not everyone can work a normal 9-5 like everyone else due to disabilies, skills or other needs.

So how does the Fediverse make new jobs?

 

@asklemmy How could users Monitise themselves on the Fediverse?

As people possibly move across to the Fediverse to find alternatives, we have to question how people are going to make a living on this amazing platform.

Can it be fully run by donations or is there a better way for people to be paid across the Fediverse?

 

@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

 

@obsidianmd What is one thing you love & hate about ObsidianMD?
