I love mastadon, I hope threads burns down to the ground. I am not a big fan of THE ZUCKMAN

Don't forget the amount of data you'll be sharing, including health records

Dang you weren’t kidding. I know everyone here fucking hates all things social media but I was actually enjoying the content on Threads.

However they seem to be collecting literally everything about me even down to my workout routines and sleeping habits…this really gives me pause.

Nah, Twitter users stay where they are. That's Instagram users seeing what Twitter is like.

Lol, I got hyped about Threads until I saw who runs it... meta... yeah no thanks!

It's like that with facebook's services too.

I truly do not get it. I hate everything lizard boy touches :(

Nerds, geeks and general outsiders like and look for things like Mastodon and the fediverse, the majority of people just want convenience and ease of access and things like Twitter and Threads have that. Until celebrities and companies join the fediverse you won't get normal people and at that point it won't be any different from Twitter. I like Mastodon but it has nothing on the ease and just general amount of everything that Twitter has which is what brings in users.
