Come on what is this elitism, almost everyone has an Instagram, it's not that huge of a leap to just press the button that says threats, it's not a sign of stupidity.
Seriously there is some heavy gatekeeping and elitism going around whenever there is a conversation around META
for real, the people "stupid enough to join Threads" are my friends and family and they've already grown up in a world where they had to sell their soul to capitalism. so what's one more shitty TOS if it means they can continue following their friends? they don't have any idea that there's any community-maintained alternatives cause they aren't computer science scholars. that doesn't make them stupid :/ ^(not^ ^that^ ^they^ ^would^ ^see^ ^Mastodon^ ^as^ ^an^ ^alternative^ ^anyway^ ^since^ ^they^ ^just^ ^want^ ^a^ ^way^ ^to^ ^keep^ ^in^ ^touch^ ^with^ ^friends^ ^and^ ^mainstream^ ^news^ ^and,^ ^for^ ^them,^ ^those^ ^things^ ^just^ ^aren't^ ^on^ ^Mastodon^ ^yet)^
