I’m torn on this one. I want users to migrate to FOSS platforms but at the same time Threads is the best near term solution to drain Twitter users. In a perfect world, I would like the skinheads to stay on Twitter, the attention seeking people to go to threads, and the normal folk to hit Lemmy/Kbin.
At least for me, micro blogging serves very different needs than forums. I don’t see them as so interchangeable that Twitter people flock to kbin/Lemmy.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Isn’t mastodon the federated microblogging replacement? Lemmy & kbin are the forum/news aggregator replacement instead, correct?
That’s meant to be the use case, yeah. Threads kind of wanted to be a bit of both, and of course ended up sucking at both…
The “normal folk” are the lowest common denominators that turn a fun, hobbiest-centric platform into what Reddit and Facebook and Twitter have become.
Give me the freaks and geeks instead; they’re the cooler, wiser, less hate-filled people.
We need another feeble attempt by a big corporation to splinter then even further.
Yeah. Google needs to get in there with another product that they will leave in Beta until they cancel it in 18 months.
