I'm not suggesting anything, just want to know what do you think.

Here is a link if someone don't know what Meta's Threads is: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/

I'm unsure. A lot of people are saying yes, but they are also implying to do so preemptively which I don't agree with. I would rather wait a few weeks and see what effect it has on this instance before making a decision.

ı dont think you would want Bunch of Instagrammers here

[–] jeff@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

But I do. I really really do. I want Lemmy and the Fediverse to get more popular. I just don't follow "Instagrammers" I'm not interested in. And there probably are people on Instagram I would be interested but have never heard about because I'm not on Instagram.

Regardless, we can always defederate and re-federate, doing it as a kneejerk reaction doesn't make sense here.

Actually there are quite talented game Devs and Artist posting on Instagram. (But threads is not Instagram)

I find it very alerting how preoccupied people here are. How does this makes us any better?
