So the Threads API launched today, and on the same day I decided to poke my head in over there to see how it's going.
The access to the API is doing something. Things like weather alerts are coming online, and that's exactly the benefit a mass platform can provide: wide distribution of critical information. Fedi can do this too; it's just...trickier.
Anyway, you may or may not care about Threads. But one thing seems clear: the access to the API is a decision point for many people/orgs to finally leave X/Twitter.
