I see people losing their minds because Threads has, at least for some time, disconnected itself from mastodon.social.
It looks like it was a mistake.
This time.
If this is a surprise to you, you were not paying attention. I warned you exactly one year ago:
https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
This will happen again. This will, at some point, happen definitively.
The question is not "will it?" but "when?".
Small reminder: The Fediverse is more than Mastodon. Mastodon is more than mastodon.social.
