Hi. No one is creating content on Threads, can we steal your content, please?
Meh. Threads is quite busy on my feed. I loved chatting during Doctor Who just like I used to when Twitter was around. I use Lemmy, Mastodon, and Threads, personally. I find Threads to be super wholesome and positive and it can only help the Fediverse thrive with mainstream users much like Gmail did with email.
That might be the worst example you could have chosen, given that Gmail is largely responsible for the current technical impossibility of self hosted email.
how is self hosted email impossible? I do it. outlook and thunderbird exist.
Um. I'm not one of those who downvoted you, but are you sure you understand the difference between hosting email, and running a client?
well if you are talking about actually self-hosting a mail server, then gmail didn't prevent that isp's did.
and downvotes mean nothing since my instance doesn't have them.
It had nothing to do with ISPs. Here's a good writeup on the topic

Lol.
I think most here have come here to avoid big tech companies. Reddit has become bad and beyond the pale. Facebook, and Meta companies are not good for privacy, and many wouldn't like to promote them or have their content building those platforms up. Eventually, you become the thing you hate.
Same, bro, same.
It’s really weird the stuff people here get emotional over.
I'm just glad we will be able to interact with those few people that won't use the rest of the Fediverse but stay on Threads.
I'm not. :)
Maybe it's an opportunity to convince them otherwise?
