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 I assume (hope) it's not so much "hates fun" as "worried it may become irrelevant"
@mark has one of my favorite takes on Threads so far https://tapbots.social/@mark/110673320652453425
I'm excited that Threads exists and hope many make the switch from Twitter. I also hope Meta/Instagram follows through on their word and connects to ActivityPub. I absolutely love the idea of being able to call Mastodon home, but have the ability to follow and interact with people/companies I like on Threads. But I will never join it. It's not even about the privacy stuff. I'm still on Facebook/Instagram because I have communities locked in there. I just despise algorithmic timelines and ads.
