Hi. No one is creating content on Threads, can we steal your content, please?
Meh. Threads is quite busy on my feed. I loved chatting during Doctor Who just like I used to when Twitter was around. I use Lemmy, Mastodon, and Threads, personally. I find Threads to be super wholesome and positive and it can only help the Fediverse thrive with mainstream users much like Gmail did with email.
I think most here have come here to avoid big tech companies. Reddit has become bad and beyond the pale. Facebook, and Meta companies are not good for privacy, and many wouldn’t like to promote them or have their content building those platforms up. Eventually, you become the thing you hate.
Threads federation is mostly targeted towards Mastodon than Lemmy, so I highly doubt it will make much of a difference whether any Lemmy instance federates or not, since Lemmy is purely group based and does not federate well with even Mastodon to begin with as there is a huge difference in design philosophy. (Which means I can stay under the radar a bit longer.)
However, I don’t think Facebook will stop at Threads, they are using Threads as a preliminary test, and if it goes well, I think the next step they could do is to get Instagram itself to federate.
So here is a thought: suppose reddit or Instagram are open to federation, would you say federating with them and getting all their content will be worth it?
No
Seconded, I’ll leave the fediverse if that happens. I want nothing to do with those sociopathic corporations.
And this is why lemmy will never overtake reddit. Literally the satanic panic, because some users might be posting on some other platform.
It’s not a competition, quality over quantity. I don’t want anything to do with corporate social media, it’s a disease.
Except lemmy isn’t some “high quality social media”. It’s the same thing, with users that act the same.
It has much less corporate influence and the user base is self-selecting for people who give a shit enough to seek that out.
Yeah, so? The independent servers / instances will still be here. Worst thing that can happen is it goes back to what it was before.
Oh my gosh it’s Margot Robbie
That’s esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress/Lemmy powermod Margot Robbie to you!
Hot damn
And so it begins…Embrace.
Has mastodon blocked threads? Please block it. Kill that shit and hope thread will take zuckerberg out too.
Fuck SuckerBurg all my homies hate Suckerburg
Fuckerberg
The big Zuck
Best way to centralize the decentralized network.
I’m all for it. People can defederate if they need to, but I’m all for just letting it happen. If I have friends on threads but I don’t wanna join, cool.
Let’s all tone down the snobbery.
Fuuuuuuuck that.
