Ooh what if Mastodon imitated Threads a little minus the massive budget.
“Login with Twitter”, but really just copies your @handle over to Mastodon. Autoselects a normie instance for you (bad I know). Asks you to enter email or phone. Login via code (or magic link) each time. Can educate on instances later and try to get you to set a password once you’ve adopted it a bit (or shift you to login via emailed code to save SMS fees). Still expensive, kinda hacky, still no Meta budget.
Aight probably a pretty bad idea all around heh
Edit: can copy your Twitter follows too
