When I join threadiverse (summer 2023), soon everyone was talking about Threads and how it was about to destroy the whole thing.

Then nothing came of it and the whole convo kinda vanished.

Why didn’t threads destroy threadiverse already?

    It gives them the ability to compile data on people of the fediverse, though. They might not get the same depth of information as if we used their websites directly, or nearly as much as from their apps, but they still get usernames and comments and whatever other data they can deduce from that from any instance they’re federated with. Of course, if they were really interested they could just scrape it.
