    Hard to find something depressing with no experience.

    What is depressing is that tens of millions JUMP on the platform, knowing already that Meta is evil and not caring.

    The human race is digging it’s own grave, and the handful that know better will just get pulled down.

    This reads like the author liked the old Twitter, which I think was also very cringe. Bluesky is not promising or much better.

    Unfortunately Twitter celebrities seem so starved for an alternative, that I think they’re willing to sweep their anti-zuckerberg-ism under the rug in favor of getting back that social media engagement hit. I’ve already seen it in my circles and I doubt it’s unique.

    Unfortunately, I really do think threads will succeed. It is filling a void much desired by many, even if done poorly. And chances are, they’ll make it better (or at least more attractive or addicting).

    If this is accurate then I don’t think the fediverse has much to fear from Threads federating. Even if they can technically talk to each other, not many people will want to follow someone on the other platform. They’re different worlds.

      I think the zuck will federate FB insta and threads into a walled garden because I can’t see him wanting users to interact outside of Metas products. It will work because people want to see family members are up to without logging into Facebook or vise versa.
