    It’s the best and worst thing to happen to the internet.

    Best because - Twitter is a toxic site, with toxic people and a system that encourages ragebaiting means it breeds it.

    Worst because - These negative people need somewhere to go… And it will only force them onto alternatives and fester in new places. Potentially here.

          I would rather it be Mastodon. I tried threads and it was a bunch of influencers prostituting themselves for follows and likes.

            I’m still not sure whether I’m excited or afraid about the rumours of Threads joining the Fediverse.

      I disagree that the toxic people need somewhere to go. They WANT somewhere to go, but if the internet is built as a place where toxicity is not tolerated, they will have nothing to do but to fume privately, and burn in their little oxygen-less chambers until that flame goes out
