Exactly, and that’s what’s so stupid about all the comments referencing “gullibles on the fediverse” or the downvoting of the commenter above.

I would love to be able to follow my favorite musical artists or my city’s account from Mastadon. That will never happen until Twitter finally dies completely and those accounts move to Threads. And yeah, who knows, maybe they’ll come to Mastadon instead, but like you said, that won’t happen unless Mastadon has legitimacy and reach amongst normies and that won’t happen without federation with a major corporate player.

I’m sorry to all the dramatic Fediverse zealots, but that’s just the truth.
