Totally, but discovery can be a bitch even if the initial claim is spurious. All it takes is one of those former Twitter employees with a poorly worded or even sarcastic/joke internal email saying “we did it like this over at Twitter” for everything to go sideways
As with email, where we can all be on different providers and still communicate together, Threads integrating into the fediverse (where Mastadon already is) would allow them to work together. I could post on Mastadon and you could follow my Mastadon account on Threads and see that post. It’s the way this should have worked all along, but is not intuitive enough for general consumers at low scale. With someone like Meta pushing it forward it will finally be more easily embraced
If Threads connects to the fediverse it could actually help Mastadon. Being untethered to a specific provider is the way. It’s highly ironic that it takes Meta to help it scale into viability
My guess is they’re preempting attempts by meta to enable importing follow lists. Software companies always look for “stickiness” to make transitioning to competitors difficult, and this is theirs
Sounds like an aggressive but reasonable goal. I was in a very similar place (47, 260#) and calorie counting on LoseIt has worked very well for me.
