This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Gotta disagree with you there when it comes to Threads. We have seen how Meta is also trying to influence global politics. Threads should not be encouraged either. On top of that, their privacy policy is a nightmare.

Purely anecdotally from what I've been reading online, it seems most younger folks hate Threads.
Not necessarily because of privacy issues or social impact, mind you. They also think it just sucks to use, don't like the UI, don't like the content—which turned out to include a lot of people trying to build a personal brand and sell you things. Just like Instagram, where most users came from.
Excluding content details, Mastodon fails similarly. Requires learning, unsatisfactory UI, more difficult to find and engage with content you like.
