Well that’s great for Mastodon, but Lemmy (and by extension, lemm.ee) works differently and would be affected by the Threads algorithm.
If you want to interact with brand accounts and have up-to-the-minute coverage from news outlets’ accounts, why not make an account on Threads? Why does it have to be here?
You say “being over here on Mastodon and Lemmy, ideally, I can get that interaction on my own terms instead of being subjected to The Algorithm” - but that just isn’t possible.
Any instance federated with Threads WILL be subjected to “The Algorithm”, and it won’t just be obvious spam. Instead it will be content curated to push a narrative or product, without you even noticing.
Immutable, adjective: Unchanging over time or unable to be changed.
From the article: “We want a reliable desktop experience that runs everything, but we’re too lazy to maintain anything. So we automated the entire delivery pipeline in GitHub.”
So, in other words… “Please don’t ever update your system or everything will break”
