Mastodon's official stance on Threads
(blog.joinmastodon.org)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I think it could be a way to get around privacy laws.
Those laws quickly becomes difficult to apply when everyones posts are no longer on central servers owned by meta and instead is copied across thousands of instance owners.
But I think their primary objective is to take on Twitter and get people to use Meta instead. It doesn't cost them much to start experimenting with the tech, and being first somewhere is always an advantage.
