@me_the_fl00f @hankg @cstross @mike I actually joined the #Fediverse before I knew what Fediverse, #Mastodon or #ActivityPub was in 2018.
When #CounterSocial was apart of the Fediverse, I signed up as @Darnell@counter.social as I was becoming disillusioned with #Twitter.
I do expect #Threads to have a massive impact outside of News & Sports (#Meta is forgoing chronological searches), a niche #Flipboard can beautifully fill.
