In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.
If someone wants to talk to me via email or text, sure. I don’t think those basic services are universally losing privacy any time soon. Lemmy too now, since it’s decentralized.
But if someone wants to talk to me via a Discord subsitute, I’m not going to bother. Maybe I’m weird, but I don’t feel a moral impetus to download a new app just so I can talk to one particular person in the format they prefer. They don’t have to move to Discord to appease me either, because text and email are suitable substitutes that I’m sure both parties arleady have.
