Comment on Threads spotted exploring ads, but says 'no immediate timeline' toward monetization

  Interesting that you think that I may be interested in Threads content.

  I’m not interested in what content you are interested in. You made a comment regarding blocking Threads content for everyone. Let everyone decide for themselves which accounts to follow, don’t promote not to federate at all just because you personally don’t want to follow accounts there. Just don’t click the follow button, duh.

    Go to some junk instance that’s willing to federate if you want.

    Federating with Threads makes an instance unacceptable as far as most of us are concerned. Their mere existence is malignant.

      The Mastodon instance I use already does and absolutely nothing negatively happened to it. Mastodon users can just block entire instances on their own if they happen to not like any content from there.

      Federating with Threads makes an instance unacceptable as far as most of us are concerned. Their mere existence is malignant.

      That’s based on conspiracy theories and not an actually informed decision based on how the Fediverse works. Most of you don’t even understand that Threads content wouldn’t even show up on Lemmy in the first place. Threads doesn’t even have communities.

        Because Facebook hasn’t done anything yet.

        Blocking Facebook as a user is not good enough. Any server that connects to them legitimizes them and is not acceptable behavior.

        It absolute is not a conspiracy, and most people unwilling to participate in any server that interacts with Facebook in any way are doing so exactly because they understand the technology and Facebook’s history. Literally everything Facebook has ever touched turned to dogshit. “I won’t participate in a platform that doesn’t completely block Facebook” is not the naive, uninformed position. (That’s using Facebook and their other platforms.) It’s the people who recognize how pure fucking evil Facebook is.

    Yes, this is the kind of thing a terminally boring person says.

    Pardon my generalization, but literally no one is interested in threads

      That is not a generalization…

  9/10 of the most followed accounts on Fedi are on Threads, so you may not, but clearly many many people do.

  Most people want social media to read and talk about the mundane things that are interesting to them (like sports, or their hobbies, or some new cool bar they want to go on, or some interesting places to travel) instead of using it to doomscroll and display outrage.

  If all you want from social media is to have a place to constantly keep you anxious and remind you of how little power you have to change the things you are so pointless worrying about… then sure, Lemmy is more than enough as it is.

    Hey, more evidence that most people aren’t worth talking to, nice.

      You were so eager to come up with a jab at other people that you seem to have ignored the second paragraph. It is pretty clear that you could benefit from a bit of introspection to look what you could offer to the world, instead of just trying to put everyone down.

      Wishing you well.
