Way ahead of you. What benefit is there even in federating with Threads? I tried looking at the front page and it's almost exclusively "ads as posts" or wannabe influencers trying to attract an audience.

Even wilder, most of the posts Threads show me on the front page have like, less than 10 replies. I saw one (1) post with close to 200 replies. Even the Fediverse has more engagement than this!

It's frustrating because there are a few people I like, like John Green, who are on threads but not the rest of the fediverse

I follow the Green brothers too and with how much they discuss how social media should be better for humans and all that, it's surprising to me that they aren't on the Fediverse or even talking about it. But they may just be unaware I guess.

This surprises me too. There is a Nerdfighters Mastodon server, but it is pretty small, and I haven't heard it mentioned on vlogbrothers (though I am a few years behind). The fediverse seems fairly well aligned with nerdfighteria, and I'm surprised there isn't more activity and discussion on it.

I'd been thinking about joining Mastodon and I hadn't decided which server to join, maybe I'll join this one? But the question of do I want to see Threads content is a big one - there's a few people I'd like to see, and there's a lot that I really don't.
