Good.

The sooner Twitter dies, the sooner we can see which alternative rises to fill the gap.

I'm afraid not, the general people will and already do use Threads.

Threads is theoretically going to be connected to mastodon someday.

Threads is trash, it's cluttered with corporate accounts trying to be funny to market their product and there is no quality content.
