I agree, I don’t want a blanket ban on Threads. I know Meta is a horrible company, but we shouldn’t decide in advance.

Honestly, I’d be very happy to be able to follow people on Threads through my privacy-respecting Mastodon/Lemmy app. Because, let’s be serious: we’re just a bunch of nerds here. If I want to follow famous people or companies, I’m going to find them on Meta’s platforms, not here.

It might take time but why not naturally wait for these famous people to expand their network and consider being on lemmy? Without having to interact with Threads at all? I feel it would just be a matter of time, and we can adjust on our own terms instead of having to let Threads in.

  Why not? I want to keep up to date with their announcements and products. Famous people could be writers, journalists, whatever.
  
  Following famous people and companies is what 99% of users of “normal” social media do.

    I don’t want to use Meta’s apps, because they’re a privacy nightmare. Full of trackers

Famous people need regulars to follow them. Get more people like you and me and celebrities will follow.
