    While I am excited at this integration I hope the people at threads would shift to mastodon instead of the opposite if threads ever try to do an EEE move.

        and threads users can’t see the mastodon users comments for now. i think they will prolong this as long as they can while introducing other stuff so that they can force other people to download threads for making comments that they can see.

        They’re blocking Pixelfed? In what way?

        Blocking Pixelfed from federating with Threads?

        Preventing people from mentioning Pixelfed?

            Where are you seeing that? I’ve mentioned my Pixelfed server a few times on Threads and I’ve never been censored.

                So a few comments were hidden, no one seems to be able to reproduce it, and it appears to just be a glitch.

                Why would Meta do this???

                  Pixelfed is a good competitor for Instagram, their #1 cashcow. It has everything an Instagram competitor should have, especially the 2012 Instagram vibe where people just shared their daily life happenings through pictures instead of sharing bs for engagements. The only thing it lacks is messaging feature and the dev is working on a messaging platform for that.

                    I was clearly being sarcastic.

                    There’s no real evidence that Meta was intentionally hiding anything, nor is Pixelfed even close to resembling a threat to Instagram.

        under normal circumstances? why would they. but if threads keep rigging the fediverse integration part people might think it’s better to be on threads since the integration is bad even if threads clearly do it to rig the competition.

          Most people on Mastodon hate mainstream social media for a reason
