    Honestly with how fast threads, brand new, was able to jump into this compared to the growth of mastodon, I’m convinced the only thing that can convince most people to stop using a corperate bloated social media site from hell is a new, slightly less bloated (so far) corperate social media site from hell.

      People will never accept that part of the problem is themselves.

      Hell, even I still use Twitter sometimes. I admit I am part of the problem. Other people won’t at least try to be honest about it.

      The vast majority of human beings in this country are so toxic.
