Problem: even with discovery, if your friends are on Threads or X, you still won't find them on Mastodon. But its a step in the right direction.
You would be able to find them if every instance didn’t decide to defederate with Threads.
Unless you can follow specific people on blocked instances, this is a fail. If my friend is on another instance which is blocked from my instance... whats the point of the fediverse? Might aswell go back to Facebook or X/Twitter. They are shitty but at least I can see my friends.
