Told a dude I run my own mastodon instance and I know a bit about decentralized networks.

beaware@social.beaware.live

He said "you don't host a mastodon instance, you have a mastodon profile".

Fucking idiots. I swear. Pissing me off this early in the morning. ‍️

@BeAware should be obvious from ur domain

beaware@social.beaware.live

@david this was on threads. Hes an influencer. Bet he didn't even look at my profile to see the link.

dj@ak.parcero.casa

@david @BeAware
He's probably a mac user

rxbrad@mastodon.rxbrad.com

@david @BeAware Probably going off BlueSky knowledge. Those ding-dongs might think that you'd only buy URLs to plug them into your BSky / Threads accounts.

(Does Threads even do the make-your-URL-your-username thing, yet? Like BSky? I dunno...)

ppb1701@ppb.social

@BeAware Maybe he thinks all these domains are actually mapped top the same server

beaware@social.beaware.live

@RxBrad @david no, they don't have anything like that on threads. I'm almost positive he has no clue what he's talking about and thinks I can't run my own mastodon instance.

beaware@social.beaware.live

@ppb1701 don't know. In a few minutes once the 15 minute federation time period is up, I'm about to boost his dumbass to oblivion.

david@blob.cat

@RxBrad @BeAware maybe the threads user thinks that everyone interacting with them is on threads. probably doesn't know what mastodon is

fid@morrokey.com

@david@blob.cat @RxBrad@mastodon.rxbrad.com @BeAware@social.beaware.live threads is feds too?

beaware@social.beaware.live

@fid @david @RxBrad do you mean threads is on Fediverse?

If so, kinda....it's only half working.
