Capitalism needs meat for the grinder. This is the heart of forced birth as well. Dying means you're escaping.

EverQuest.

If you want old stale memes just make a Facebook account. They're about 10 years behind at all times. I don't think they're over the sassy cat at the table meme yet.

Some had even claimed Dat Boi to be meme Christ.

Can't you just use a rss reader to see their articles?

Mastodon is where the intelligent people are filtered to from Twitter. The idiots end up on Threads.

Yep. If you didn’t say it you were punished.

Reminds me of Bluesky which is also in a permanent beta.

Yep! I host my writing on Tumblr. It's a great community for writers.

That’s not true. You still have to manually add your Instagram account to Threads. These are genuine signups. It’s been all over the news as the fastest growing app of all time.

This topic has opened my eyes to how many of you still have your foot in the door with Reddit. I’m shocked, honestly.

Here here. I just hope people stay. I’ve already known a couple people that have reopened Reddit accounts unfortunately.

@renwillis They just announced they won't be a news platform like twitter. Deleted my account. I have no interest in a platform for influencers.

@renwillis I mean that doesn’t mean you’re not being pretentious and bandwagoning.

@renwillis Another pretentious fediverse user?! Shocking!

There is an iOS app. It’s called vernissage. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vernissage-for-pixelfed/id1663543216

They always could? These are public facing platforms. You’re being scraped by far more than just meta.

The reason why other communities/social media sites have so much content is that they’re massive with millions, or in the case of Facebook, BILLIONS of users. Lemmy/Kbin is a fraction of a fraction by comparison, and people are mostly used to browsing without contributing. New platforms tend to suffer because of this and ultimately die off. You need that snowball effect to happen quickly like what is happening right now on Threads. Sadly only established mega corps have a good chance at succeeding in the long run.

lol you’re all so dramatic and pretentious no wonder mastodon never took off. Threads will have more users than the entirety of Mastodon on ONE instance. They can stand entirely on their own and offer a superior content experience than a bunch of angry nerds yelling at the clouds. Mastodon is just a bunch of people mad at other platforms. That’s 90% of the content.
