Gregory's ServerIf you're going to call me an "FBI plant who supports Threads" you're absolutely getting a block.
Lmao. Weirdos.

 Hard to tell if a joke or not, when I've gotten an extreme amount of hate for being on Threads and talking about being excited to see the Fediverse expand away from mostly just tech-heads into normie territory 🤷♂️ @gamingonlinux an honest question: isn't it redundant if it's federated anyway? Why do you need another account there? Or am I missing something? (I honestly don't know anything about Threads other than the fact it's a "Meta Twitter" )  @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux well I think it raises real questions (although hate is never appropriate). It's not like the normies / techies limit is a binary one or that there are only techies on the fediverse. I see a real potential for threads to drag less techy people there and then close the federated doors, which would be a net loss for the fediverse. We've seen google chat do that with xmpp and I don't see why meta would behave differently.  @gamingonlinux Throwing disrespect at people for using one platform or the other is absurd. I think the attitude many Mastodon users have of people using Twitter is just as misplaced. You don't know why someone would want or need to use a service. That said, I don't want Meta in the Fediverse. It goes well beyond the prospect of having normies vs tech heads when we're talking about THE most unethical social media corporation on the planet. @gamingonlinux I do not share your enthusiasm for destroying what we are building.  @gamingonlinux The sheer amount of vitriol I've seen regarding threads is so weird to me. Like the whole idea of the fediverse is to be interconnected, and if you don't want to federate, just block it at the user level. But people are like, frothing at the mouth if you even so much as interact with someone who chooses to federate with threads. If you don't like it, block and move on, no need to insult others who want to federate, its like the whole point of the fediverse  |
@gamingonlinux FBI… plant? If anything you're at least an FBI flower!
But seriously, how do people make *that* connection? There's a lot to be criticised, not this though.
