I’m always pretty sad when I go back and check on new users that I had welcomed and suggested they post an introduction, only to realize they never did and never made another post…

I have a feeling some of those people are the “Fediverse is too confusing!” People, yet they don’t even try.🤦‍♂️

    Generally I’m presuming that threads is sucking up lots of people who are alt-social curious. They may have just drifted to doom scrolling there.

    Seems to be affecting BlueSky too. Plenty of Brazilians joined, but I’d bet plenty more joined threads.

    And I’m not sure it’s spoken about enough. With Threads, big-social just artificially segregated the market (is musk/Zuck really a choice?) and are sucking the oxygen out of alt-social.

    It’s imo THE issue with the threads embrace.

      @[email protected] when you say this, like “the threads embrace”, are you meaning to say that in relation to Fediverse, in general, or specifically the Brazilian movement that’s happening?

      It’s not clear to me and I want to be certain you’re meaning.👍

        Yea generally in relation to the fediverse. Obviously not the whole of the Fedi, but there’s a lot of acceptance and embrace, notably from major masto instance admins, CEOs and AP authors.
