Good for you for enjoying threads, but I don't want to use threads and any instances associated with them. That's why I'm here. I don't see the point of using instances that federate with them, since why wouldn't I just skip the hassle of the growing pains of the fediverse when I could just opt for a huge centralized corporate run service?
It's because I don't want to use threads or meta or whatever new name they come up with. Even using twitter or reddit is preferable to me over using an instance federated with Meta, since at least reddit or Twitter wouldn't have such a direct relation with them.
I don’t see the point in refusing to use Mastodon instances that federate with Threads. There are no suggestion algorithms in Mastodon, you mostly only see posts from people you follow. You can just… not follow people from Threads. No need to throw a tantrum about it.
I find reddit way less problematic and preferable to Meta, so why would I suddenly be fine with Meta when I like reddit way more than them and still left. Leaving reddit seems trivial in relation to Meta issues.
Why are you bothered that I don't want to use instances affiliated with Meta.
