Fuck the CCP and putin.

There should be a referendum about this.

Is this an alternative fuxking timeline we're in?

Do republicans WANT to be seen as traitorous evil dixkheads? They seem to think they can spin anything and their idiot supporters will believe it, and, after trump, they're probably right.

You need to activate the threads account. People are being asked to follow accounts which haven't been activated IE created.

You're missing the point.

One concern would be:

1. Say Lemmy/kbin grows organically to 1 million users.
2. Threads federates, with 100 million users

Do you want these users flooding Lemmy? I don't want to be biased at the theoretical type of user on Threads, though if the right wingers/trolls/extremists migrate to Threads because they think it's "more open" then that may be an issue. If it's full of soccer moms posting pictures of their kids, or karens complaining about everything, that may be an issue.

Multiculturalism is great, I want to hear new ideas, though some areas are breeding grounds for lower-think, it seems. This probably sounds prejudiced or elitist.

I want to talk to the vanguard people who take the risk and are openminded and come to lemmy, not necessarily the "lemmings" who join facebook because they love facebook and don't want to, or can't, delve deeper into why facebook is one of the worst forces in media at the moment.

I am not prejudiced (I hope) against "regular people" and "soccer moms", though think that if 10 million soccer moms came here, the discussions may not be as... interesting, as they are.

Also, I don't know what lemmy instances will think about downloading masses of data from threads.

Good points. The musings of Lemmy/kbin/other users will be lost in the mass of karen posts, soccer moms, extremist views, god knows what else.

It's pretty obvious that those who came here from Reddit or wherevee are looking for a place that is not dictated to by commercial interests, and if threads attaches onto these communities, I guess we'll leave for somewhere else.

I don't imagine we're going to see stories in the near future about how the police abuse these powers :/

Oh, there's scope to introduce "official" Reddit user badges for 10 bucks a pop and all of sorts of suicidal Musk shenanigans

Congratulations! There should be "Banned from Reddit" medals on Lemmy/Mastodon/kbin

Welcome, I came over earlier this week. Once you get your head around different instances and people from kbin and mastodon answering in teh same post (which is cool) and the occasional errors (or isues when errors don't appear whe they should) which should be patched soon, hopefully, lemmy seems to give more freedom than reddit.

Woah. Get those lifeboats filled.

I posted on /r/bing a few days how now you can't turn off tracking or history in edge but can't find the article and don't want to give reddit any traffic to check...

Stick to firefox.
