I don't think the type of people who were repulsed by Elon's acquisition of Twitter were by any means the sort of people who would find refuge on Threads. These people all already have Facebook accounts in addition to their LinkedIn accounts and know how much of a black hole that place is.

find refuge on Threads.

I mean Threads has been shit from the very beginning and it's never gotten better even though Zuck had every advantage. It's like when Myspace could have become a social media juggernaut but it went into the toilet because it was entirely mismanaged and - oddly enough - that helped Facebook to quickly become a behemoth.

I just want some good open source stuff that's moderated by real humans, this shit isn't really that computationally intensive to run at moderate scale. All the tech bros are just so over leveraged on capturing every modicum of data on their users that it's bloated.

Basically anyone could run a decently sized forum on a consumer PC for their immediate area without issue, but someone has to keep AWS alive or the American economy collapses...
