Memes

Oh man, this is genuinely depressing. I just checked it out for the first time and almost every thread I see is "omg this is so much better than twitter" "Guess we're all on threads now?" and just complete lack of awareness of the fediverse at all, and I'm just sitting here like "the fediverse has been better than twitter...and facebook....and instagram... and reddit.... for a long time now....." but everyone is just gonna throw flowers at Facebook for making a hackneyed handicapped version of it and there's nothing we can do.

This time next year everywhere you see little social media buttons and links the threads symbol will be there by default and people will still have no idea about Lemmy or Mastadon. I'm gonna try really hard to focus on how much of a good thing that is because of its lessening of the horrors of Eternal September in these spaces.
