Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

They're anti meta because they were pro reddit for a decade

All for profit corporations are the same, I don't understand this flag waving mentality

People thought they had a mutually beneficial relationship with reddit (and they did): they provided content and moderation, reddit provided a platform, administration, etc.

Reddit has never been perfect but pretending it was as bad as Zuck’s creations is being dishonest. Sure, no corporation has your needs as their top priority. However, I remember a time when reddit used to do things like talk about warrant canaries and other privacy minded things. Facebook has always been a bit… questionable. And then it got worse.

Exactly, they've become disenchanted with mainstream corporate bullshit

They're just not, though. Meta and Reddit are not the same. Reddit and my employer, where we make thing that people choose to buy, are not the same.

People can have preferences on different platforms and products, and they can have different amounts of confidence in different companies on how capable and trustworthy they are.
