Hot Take: The toxic attitude towards Threads (and anything not part of the Fediverse) is driving me away from Lemmy - eviltoast

I unsubscribed from the Fediverse community because I just couldn’t take the constant hate and complaining. Now I’m seeing it in all of the general technology communities. I get that a lot of people have major issues with Meta and Threads, but I’m seriously tired of it taking over my feed. Personally, I enjoy Threads. I also use Mastodon, but the reality is there’s a lot of groups of people who aren’t on Mastodon, and Threads has given me a way to follow them again. That’s something I’m grateful for.

    I don’t see the point in refusing to use Mastodon instances that federate with Threads. There are no suggestion algorithms in Mastodon, you mostly only see posts from people you follow. You can just… not follow people from Threads. No need to throw a tantrum about it.

      I find reddit way less problematic and preferable to Meta, so why would I suddenly be fine with Meta when I like reddit way more than them and still left. Leaving reddit seems trivial in relation to Meta issues.

      Why are you bothered that I don’t want to use instances affiliated with Meta.
