A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse.
However, people also say that it will help get ActivityPub and the Fediverse go more mainstream and say that corporations don’t have that much influence on the Fediverse since people are in control of their own servers.
What a lot of posts have in common is that they want some kind of action to be taken, whether it’d be mass defederating from Threads, or accept them in some way that does not harm the Fediverse as much.
Come on what is this elitism, almost everyone has an Instagram, it’s not that huge of a leap to just press the button that says threats, it’s not a sign of stupidity.
Seriously there is some heavy gatekeeping and elitism going around whenever there is a conversation around META
for real, the people “stupid enough to join Threads” are my friends and family and they’ve already grown up in a world where they had to sell their soul to capitalism. so what’s one more shitty TOS if it means they can continue following their friends? they don’t have any idea that there’s any community-maintained alternatives cause they aren’t computer science scholars. that doesn’t make them stupid :/ (notthattheywouldseeMastodonasanalternativeanywaysincetheyjustwantawaytokeepintouchwithfriendsandmainstreamnewsand,forthem,thosethingsjustaren’tonMastodonyet)
