It’s one thing to be skeptical about a new social network, especially from Meta. But the visceral reaction that **some** people on Mastodon are having to Threads is just bizarre. It’s not constructive criticism, it’s just hate.
Sometimes it feels like there’s a certain crowd of people on Mastodon that just …hates fun? I don’t get it. No one is taking Mastodon away from you.
@ChanceHMiller "No one is taking Mastodon away from you."
That's precisely the fear, however, with Threads Fediverse integration: embrace, extend, extinguish.
@ChanceHMiller For example, this article was making the rounds recently:

There’s also a big question of spam and moderation of posts coming from Threads to Mastodon, because instance admins are mostly volunteers with few resources.
@lapcatsoftware Ahh I see, interesting.
These are valid concerns! Some of the things other people are saying (and the associated shaming/bullying/etc) are not lol
