Comment on Threads is making moves for Mastodon integration

  Wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out 99% of them were written by ChatGPT or whatever FBs equivalent is.

    There does seem to be some real voices and understanding with some of the comments, so probably a mix of paid and chabot. If chatbot is that good, we are really in some serious trouble.

      For 3 to 4 sentences LLMs are indistinguishable from humans.

      You don’t start noticing the idiosyncrasies until it gets a bit more repetitive and loses coherence during longer texts.

        That’s so not good, I hope there are people working on ways to tell.

  Is it really so bad that people (or rather instances) are allowed to choose who to federate with? Currently instances with spam and other unwanted commenters get constantly defederated with. Threads will just be another one of them, while some people are happy to get more content. Or am I missing something?

    To be clear, I want it to be users deciding on Lemmy too. Also, people already here moving to threads wouldn’t be the problem, we’re small in comparison to them. It would be a few things:

    • They would bring in a huge party of users that would take it over and overwhelm the current users. It would be like a cruise ship of tourists taking over a small town and breaking everything for the current residents.
    • They could post to Lemmy, but we can’t really post to Mastodon. They’re going to send ads our way disguised as content, guaranteed.
    • If they can manipulate the users from Mastodon, it’s going to get out of hand fast. They have teams of devs and psych engineering to accomplish that.
    • This is volunteer ran, do we have enough energy to fight Meta when they try to enforce something?
    • Can they manipulate Activity Pub software because we’re a small team of devs? If they can, they will.
    • One person mentioned them having instance owners sign NDAs. What’s up with that?

      If they are having instance owners sign NDA’s they must have pre-selected who to talk to or only target Mastodon because feddit.de just pre-emptively defederated threads.net after users made the owner aware of the news and it’s one of the largest instances (even more so if you go by MAU which is arguably what Meta would be intersted in).
