I suspect much of the excitement over Threads is

A. Bots & farms, come on we all know how this works

B. Some big names were paid to migrate on day one (not mad about it, why wouldn’t they)

C. Huge heaps of schadenfreude because Elon has been such a horrific shit everyone wants to see him cry

It may stick after all those have subsided…but it’s still Facebook in the end. They don’t need more opportunities to curdle brains

@catvalente also everyone on Mastodon is seemingly hostile to anyone who makes a different choice

@monkeyhole I’m not hostile at all I just don’t have the energy to maintain a feed on 4+ different services

@catvalente yeah, I'm referring to a general trend I'm seeing... and adding a reason to your list that people may be heading over to alternative social media sites, flawed as they may be. Your points are all valid. Especially the Elon one, lol
