Ok, you mean I could be getting paid to not panic about Threads? If you have a referral link, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Implying that anyone who disagrees with you must be a paid shill is not the rhetorical dunk you apparently think it is.

Which is to say, markets that actually matter.
I’d throw some articles showing user counts, but you’d probably just call them fake.
But if you are actually curious, I can gladly provide some. There was just recently a big influx of users with the EU launch, a tagging system was recently introduced, and more and more large creators have continued to migrate over.
Already there actually and have had a pretty good experience, though it doesn’t scratch that same Reddit-style itch nor is it trying to. It’s chilling at somewhere around 100 million users, so I’m not the only one.
The point is that it’s portraying not blocking as an inherently negative thing, which isn’t universally agreed upon at all. Plenty of people would say that they don’t need any attention at all. It’s not presenting objective in a neutral way, but rather labeling a group as bad.
Of course, it’s probably fair to assume that the author has no intention of being neutral, but it’s still valid grounds to criticize it as a data visualization.
Yeah, a part of me wouldn’t even hugely mind if these people do wind up leaving, because I’ve been increasingly getting a sense that I wouldn’t hugely miss such great literature as “Suck on my balls Zuckerfuck”
Yeah, I wonder how many of those instances are primarily enthusiasts self-hosting.
If the Threads-blocking instances have this level of maturity, I don’t think we’ll be missing much. Being equally childish as Facebook comments is impressive.
I quite liked it, personally.
I imagine saying that is going to be treated as an admission of heresy here though.
Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, will become public domain in literally 13 days.
That you’re being strongly downvoted for properly analyzing an unpopular perspective is disappointing but not remotely surprising here.
I might perhaps blame the people actually launching missiles at random trading ships, personally.
Info that is publically broadcast, that technically must be publically broadcast, that isn’t necessarily personally identifiable, and is only linked to a user-chosen pseudonym probably isn’t going to be found to have much of a right to privacy.
I’m not really asking you to look it up or anything, but this gets parroted around a lot, and I wonder if there’s actually any data to really support it or if it’s just a statement that kinda sounds nice.
Again, for now.
You can at least pay (quite a lot less than a cable subscription) to remove them. It beats paying $80 a month for the great privilege of spending 30% of the time watching ads.
For now, of course.
This may be a cynical view, but even if that does happen, the core ActivityPub protocol will still be intact and at worst be relegated to a small community of tech nerds, which is to say, basically the status quo.
Facebook, and literally anyone else, can already get all your content.
It would take all of a second to scrape your user page. Obviously that wouldn’t grant your IP address or anything, but neither would federation.
It’s publicly sitting on the internet.
Flying is also dramatically cheaper and more accessible today than it used to be.
If you want the fancy treatment from back then, pay the prices people paid back then and buy first class.
