I’ve gotten so tired of the non-stop reddit/lemmy/mastodon/threads drama I pulled the plug on all recurring donations for the foreseeable future. Thanks to threads the fedverse is starting the reddit style drama cycles and I’m pretty much over trying to sort through it.

I know I can block content, my concern is my refusal to donate to an outfit that supports meta or similar properties.

    The worry about EEE is actually not my primary concern at the moment. And it’s not data collection either, though I hate what Meta is doing there.

    I’m not interested in Threads “content” on my front page here. And boy will it ever be all over the “All” page thanks to Threads users outnumbering all of the Fediverse by many magnitudes. The poor algorithm is not going to show you any new Lemmy content anymore with all the engagement Threads posts is going to get.

    Then there are the comments in communities here. If you’ve felt happy that this community has better atmosphere and discussions than the dreg you’d be served on Reddit, just wait until we open the door for hundreds of millions of Facebook commenters.

    I love the community that is building on Lemmy. If I wanted to participate in the community on Meta I’d be on Instagram or Facebook or Threads.

    But I don’t. That’s why I’m here.
