    I guess we’ll see where it goes then.

    But the fact remains that there really isn’t a realistic FOSS competitor to Twitter, despite that being a fairly easy problem to solve. I would’ve thought that would be one of the first things to get implemented, since it can be filtered in all kinds of interesting ways (e.g. a matrix bridge that listens for topics).

      While a tech solution to replace Twitter is possible, the tech is only about 5% of what makes Twitter Twitter - the other 95% is the userbase. Which again counts in Threads favour because they already have a huge Instagram userbase. They could release any old hastily put together system and still get 30m users… Hmm.
