    The Jake Paul giving away $5,000 to someone that boosts his message is just disgusting. Those people see a CELEBRITY just oh so generously giving away money! YAY! I see someone in a position of power saying “DANCE MONKIES” for what’s peanuts to him and helps his celebrity even more and that’s fucking disgusting.

    The only positive I can see coming from “Threads” is, that people are aware of Twitter alternatives and probably learn about Mastodon too. But most people on Facebook and Instagram don’t care that is the company Facebook behind it. Therefore they would not care about Mastodon either. Or any other alternative similar to it, as there are not millions of people.

    As for Threads, I think it will stay relevant. Will it take over Twitter? Maybe, probably not. They do not federate with Activity Pub, therefore it is not relevant to me. “Just” another service I don’t care, similar to Tik Tok. And to be honest here, I would like them to federate.
