same. Someone I know, this morning, said "oh I just got on threads", and "everyone is there", and worse "the only reason I know about it is because you told me." The thing is, 1. Threads is a Meta project, 2. I told them about it in the context of this huge discussion on the fediverse about defedding from corporate social media, in which the VAST MAJORITY agree that federating with corp social media is bad plan. sigh.

Threads is unfortunate proof that people aren't looking for a better solution outside of finding a different leader. Jack Dorsey is The Good One, Elon Musk is The Bad One.

For many of the same people, several years ago, Elon Musk was also The Good One.
