julian@activitypub.space@activitypub.space@kentnavalesi@mstdn.social I think that is an uncharitable view of the threadiverse.
You can't look at a single event or collection of events and conclude that the entire shebang is a failure.
It would be like me pointing out HOA, open reg servers, and alt text arguments and concluding that mastodon is a failure.
@kentnavalesi@mstdn.social discovery of threadiverse communities is almost impossible on Mastodon, so it's not entirely a surprise that the only things that organically come up are the drama filled posts.
There are hundreds if not thousands of niche communities that don't cross over to microblogs.
