I just can't see threads being any better than Twitter.

The 'missing' gleeful spite is the greatest thing about the Fediverse. I suppose she could go follow some horrible instances if she really wants that, but the lack of introspection about craving that leaves the article a bit lacking.

To me the headline here is that even someone who recognizes how much of a fool Elon Musk is to the point that she's writing an article about it is taken in by this toxic need to find sources of disdain. It's poison, and we're frankly much better off leaving those who still want that out in the middle of it until they mature enough not to spread it to these new spaces.

The fact that someone who uses the Internet to scratch this itch finds the Fediverse lacking is a very good sign.

Idk. A lot of ink and a lot of air to not really say anything. Yeah twitter sucks. Yeah there are alternatives. “Decentralized democratically moderated and that can be bought” and yeah “that you’re of using well enough” but it’s not… terrible enough for you? Whatever. Whatever you need to tell yourself to assuage the clear crisis of conscious you’re having about professing to hate a platforms politics while explicitly supporting its bottom line, I guess. I’m feeling good about my choice frankly.

At this point, my hot take is that Twitter > Threads.

Musk has some issues, sure. But he's definitely the lesser of two evils.
