- Wowfunhappy 3y agoAnother thing I like about Mastodon is the lack of an algorithm. I only see posts from people I explicitly choose to follow (or posts those people explicitly choose to boost). I do not plan to follow people who are excessively toxic or negative. If Threads launches, and 100% of its users are toxic, I will not follow anyone on Threads. But that seems unlikely to me. Edit: I suppose it's true that people I don't follow can still reply to my posts. Idk, I suppose it's possible that federating with Threads would make my replies super toxic. But, like, let's see how the community develops first.
