Hot Take: The toxic attitude towards Threads (and anything not part of the Fediverse) is driving me away from Lemmy (murray.social)

I unsubscribed from the Fediverse community because I just couldn't take the constant hate and complaining. Now I'm seeing it in all of the general technology communities. I get that a lot of people have major issues with Meta and Threads, but I'm seriously tired of it taking over my feed. Personally, I enjoy Threads. I also use Mastodon, but the reality is there's a lot of groups of people who aren't on Mastodon, and Threads has given me a way to follow them again. That's something I'm grateful for.

I agree I'm tired of seeing it on my feed, but I think corporate social media like Meta is toxic to the fediverse and hope people completely reject it.

Yeah, meta is a gigantic juggernaut and we are but little tiny ants trying to draw a clear line in the sand on where we stand. We aren't a benefit to Meta, but they are a huge extremely powerful and wealthy threat to us. So it's why there is uproar, since we number so little compared to the huge empire that is meta.
