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 kind of get what you're saying, but I also think it's a bit naive, presuming you're also only here (as am I) because it all went so wrong with reddit. Do you want to support a platform where there's a corporate running it rather than the community? I think that's why a lot of people are freaking out about Threads, because the wounds are still very fresh/people have seen this play before.

If you like Threads then great, go for it, but if you are gonna hang out on lemmy where there is a culture strongly against centralisation, you're gonna find people talking smack about the thing you happen to like.
