I’ve yet to meet a single person that enjoys twitter bots, but hey maybe the people running them would love to interact with the fediverse!

Personally I wouldn’t enjoy sorting through hundreds of twitter scam bots every day just for the sake of choice.

Also, look at the bright side, people that use Threads at least don’t use Twitter, I think it’s a small step in the right direction, no?

Depends on why you dislike twitter.

Threads acknowledges the fediverse like Microsoft acknowledged IRC. Their goal is to drain out the voices of all instances, since that is the only way to defeat a product not owned by a single entity. Will they accomplish it? Most likely not, but that doesn’t make them any more appealing.

Doesn’t make threads itself any more open. If the only thing that matters to be “open” is the individual’s ability to block content from them why not “federate” with twitter?

Ah yes, Threads, a great example of the open web!

They released it too early. No account login, slow load times, unintuitive UI… Literally just a worse imitation of newpipe.

Mastodon is objectively more popular than lemmy. But comparing them to email as a whole is a bit deceptive, a better comparison would be Mastodon and Gmail, or ActivityPub and Email.

If they were associated with Russian aligned companies I see no issue.
