Comment on People Want Threads to Be Old Twitter. Threads Would Prefer Not To.
atetulo@lemm.ee 8 months agoI’ll never understand why people are so excited for something that is proprietary and invite-only…
Oh yeah, they’re idiots.

Nah, it’s because it’s less of a headache than Mastodon (everyone I’ve talked to likes the idea, but hates the implementation because they find it hard to navigate) and it’s not a mess like Threads or Twitter. What people want is 2015 Twitter because they’re not nerds. They want it to just work.
As for the invite-only thing, I found it odd at first, but I kinda understand why people like it now. It makes it harder for assholes to join and if they do manage to get an invite, they’ll have to get another one after their account gets banned for bigotry or being a shithead.

The problem is its centralized nature. As a business, it’s going to do what businesses do and get people hooked, then slowly enshittify their products/services until a competitor takes over.

It’s hard because people are confused about multiple instances. Bluesky is a solo instance, to date, so they avoid that issue. But it will come.

More folks need to learn about firefish. It federates with Mastodon and has a much nicer UX and UI.
There are many instances, but the main one is firefish.social

I’ve also heard good things about Calckey.

Firefish is what Calckey became when rebranded recently. 😁
