I don’t think I’m missing any point. Have you used it? They’re owned by the same company. Threads is separate but part of Instagram. Other than the user name being reserved on Threads in case the Instagram user wants to sign up, there isn’t an account created. If you try to search the name of any of those accounts in Threads it doesn’t come up at all.
(Edit: mistyped a word)
The point being what, exactly? That convenience is horrendous, even when that convenience makes sense given its the exact same platform using the exact same architecture that will likely be folded into one universal app at some point in the future?
Oh noooooo. What an awful conspiracy that a company would do the thing that is obvious and makes sense. How terrible.
Lemmy is your chance to have a discussion without the needless hostility that Reddit et al has. Maybe try saying “I actually find it quite convenient, here’s why” etc
No. Learn to take an ounce of sarcastic criticism when the option presented has no merit. Alternatively, get over it and move on instead of tryin to police who is on the website.
How about you use the most basic social etiquette available and be at least not a total asshole.
And how about I take this chance to remind everyone that we can all block the users we don’t want to interact with. And that maintaining a block list is a great way to ensure a decent online experience
The block list should be shared, too, like a reputation chain or collaborative filter. “You and user X have both blocked Users A, B, and C. User X has also blocked D. Would you like to, too?” We can each decide the kind of moderation we want to see.
So think of it like a ‘feature’ of Instagram then. You can enable the feature or you can leave it disabled but either way its sharing user data and login information etc.

That wasn’t exclusive to reddit, nor was your smug attitude.
Welcome to the Internet
They weren’t smug at all. They suggested you not be hostile. It’s not a crazy idea.

Thank you. I will. Enjoy your stay.
You’re from reddit aren’t you?
It’s your chance to derail every conversation into petty social media drama so you can reinforce your fragile superiority complex, that’s for sure.
Please leave.

How utterly Reddit of you.
