  And that's why all social media is bad.

  Look, open socials can either replace closed socials or be a niche little fun exclusive club for techheads exclusively focused on Star Trek and Linux and how open socials should replace closed socials. You can't have both.

  So if the conclusion here is that popular social media sucks... yeah, you're right. Because all social media sucks.

  I don’t agree at all here. If someone on threads has posts you like, you can follow them. If not, you won’t see any posts from threads on your feed.

  Your feed will either be the same as before, or better than before.

      See what? Posts from threads? Depends on your instance and how you browse.

      Lemmy has no microblogging features so you won’t be seeing any (unless they’re specifically posting to Lemmy)

      Kbin I’m not too sure since there are microblogging features but idk how they work.

      Mastodon; you will see posts from threads users if you follow them, or if someone you follow boosts a post from them.
      If you browse by the explore/posts tab, you might see some threads posts. Also from the ‘All’/federated tab.
      You’ll be able to block threads for your account, or choose an instance that’s defederated.

  No, not always, but there are people I know I like and respect and used to follow on Twitter that are on threads and I’m not.

      If enough people that they want to follow give them the “mastodon.social treatment” as I’m calling it (which basically means rejecting them based on being on an instance with a bad reputation) they might, they also might not. I know plenty of people who choose to stay on Mastodon.social even though they’re limited by lots of servers and users for spam. Same would probably happen with threads. Though I imagine there will be significantly more animosity towards threads than mastodon.social because threads is not just a bot infested mastodon instance, it’s run by Facebook.
