As someone not using Threads this is a big surprise. I mean I’m surprised it didn’t already have ads.

As another someone who doesn’t use Threads, it is a big surprise to find out there’s a website or something called Threads that looks like it’s related to email and apparently is popular.

It’s Facebook brand Twitter, and is or was planned to be compatible with Mastodon (Fediverse Twitter)

“is popular”

Im pretty sure they auto setup an account on threads for anyone on Instagram to artificially make it popular.

Wish I could, but I haven’t found a way to do that. I guess the admin is working on it?

For yours, there is a heart outline up at the top of the page which leads to:

That’s not donating to my instance though, it’s just donating to the devs. Not quite the same thing.

@ThomasCrappersGhost @moseschrute tbh, any of the single instances can have them, but at least you can choose a diferent instance or in last resort run your own

Federating ads sounds like a very quick way to get everyone else to defederate with you.

You’d think the trans hate and nazi love would be enough for everyone to defederate with them.

Ads are targeted on the consumer, federating ads would be super bad PR, short lived and not at all effective.
