I could not disagree more. I really don't think people are going to trust Meta that much more over Twitter. I'm a pretty avid Twitter lurker and I don't even plan on trying out the app.
I'm also a very happy Lemmy and Mastodon user, but going from Twitter to Threads is just trading Elon for Zuckerberg - a useless lateral move.
This is thing I don't understand. I admit, I never used Twitter, but out of curiosity I created mastodon account yesterday and honestly I don't have any difficulty using it, it is very straight forward. Patent poster mentioned scaling issues, I don't observe any delays and apparently mastodon grew a lot yesterday.
Mastodon has short-lived slowdowns on the biggest servers when it’s going through explosive growth, and somehow people spin this into general scalability issues. It’s not a problem in reality.
Twitter went down completely all the time in the early days.
