"If you want mastodon to survive..."
I keep reading this nonsense.

Meh. Threads is a capitalist threat, yes. It seeks to 'capitalize' (big shock!) on fedi.
Yawn.
<rubs eyes to stay awake even>
Seen it all before with gnu/linux/bsd
Don't care. Not staying up late fighting.
Free, open and sharing will win.
Greed and nasty will lose.
Why let the tentacles of greed get a hold even? Just block the domain. They only want one thing: your 'self'. Your entire self.
Threads cares about your privacy.
Your privacy is delicious to us.
Your privacy is juicy-sweet and crunchy and wine-dark red and breathes a rich, savage musk-like scent, heavy on iron and with notes of truffle and mushroom and old, buried bones in the forest floor.
Your privacy dribbles gently down our lips as we chew, and after long, fragrant, eternities, swallow. Gulping, wolfing it down.
We would do ANYTHING to keep you handing us your precious, precious privacy.
Please click to federate Threads...
Mmmm... so yummy!
Remember who the CEO is of your fedi + capitalist fantasy child is:
Zuck!!
Zuckerberg: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuckerberg: Just ask
Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don't know why.
Zuckerberg: They "trust me"
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks
But, sure, go ahead, federate with that wholesome, wonderful, capitalist entity. Be my guest.
You are free to do that and make that choice.
For now...
