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.

This isn’t about anyone in particular and I’m not trying to start a fight. I like Mastodon! I love Mastodon apps! I’m not going anywhere.

I’m just pointing out something I’ve noticed. And some of the toxic negativity extends beyond the reaction to Threads.

But also: my fear of getting pounced on for posting something like this underscores my point.
