Feeding #Threads trash into #Mastodon is the functional equivalent of when Tom Sawyer got the other kids to whitewash the fence for him for free. Only in this case Tom is Zuckerberg and his cohorts, laughing at the "Fediverse" rubes.
@lauren I'm not sure I understand the objection. Why should I care, as a reader, what platform someone I follow uses to post, or, as a poster, what platform someone who wants to follow me reads me on?
@mattblaze That you don't understand is why Zuck and friends are getting such a laugh.
@lauren Yes, you're right. I don't understand. I'm not trying to be difficult. I honestly don't understand!

@mattblaze @lauren

Does it help if someone reminds you these are platforms run by Nazi sympathizers and other varieties of fascist?

Or are you being deliberately obtuse?

@f800gecko @lauren Should I conclude you don't have any way of explaining without being deliberately insulting?

I'm sure I'm missing something. But I'm not stupid in general. So what am I missing?

@mattblaze @lauren

I think you are stupid in general if you don't get it.

That's not meant to be insulting.

It's a kindness, meant to challenge a misapprehension you have about yourself as a self-described 'scientist'.

Social and political sciences are disciplines, too.

You seem entirely blind to them.

@f800gecko @mattblaze

You know Kyle, this kind of rudeness is a lot more accepted over in Tweeterville. Perhaps you'd find yourself more comfortable over there.
