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

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.

A lot of people literally came here to get away from the corporate BS and especially after Reddit tried to lock out 3rd party integrations. After years of building their platform for which the value is in the user interactions, they've literally given the finger to those same users.

Of course they're going to not be happy when an even bigger corp - with an even worse track-record - wants to jump onto the platform we just migrated to get away from that BS. Facebook especially is known for pushing controversy to the point of literally instigating violence.

Meanwhile, Mastadon and related platforms are built by highly intelligent individuals on their own time and dime.

Have fun on threads, I'm sure it won't become a haven for anti-intellectual cesspool within a few weeks or months.
