    You know, we can always just re-federate any time we want, right? We can flip back and forth endlessly if we feel like it. May as well start with a protectionist stance until we have a better idea of what we’re dealing with.

    It’s okay if you really really want to use Threads. You don’t have to feel insulted by those of us who want nothing to do with it, and you definitely don’t need to fantasize about anyone complaining or whatever.

    Make an account. Use Threads buddy, have fun!

    I should have guessed this would be a very unpopular opinion. Still think this is true.

    Never used Instagram and barely ever FB. Never used twitter much anyway and a breed of Twitter and Meta seems like something I would never want anyway.

    It seems people get some ego boost in saying: “We will not accept Threads in the fediverse”. But since they have not even attempted yet and have such a massive success, because they’ll probably dark pattern Instagram users into becoming threads users, they never need to consider using it anyway.

      Maybe it won’t be the same people, but I’m sure some people will complain because they were expecting to be able to interact with their irl friends and family from their mastodon accounts.
