for real, the people "stupid enough to join Threads" are my friends and family and they've already grown up in a world where they had to sell their soul to capitalism. so what's one more shitty TOS if it means they can continue following their friends? they don't have any idea that there's any community-maintained alternatives cause they aren't computer science scholars. that doesn't make them stupid :/ ^(not^ ^that^ ^they^ ^would^ ^see^ ^Mastodon^ ^as^ ^an^ ^alternative^ ^anyway^ ^since^ ^they^ ^just^ ^want^ ^a^ ^way^ ^to^ ^keep^ ^in^ ^touch^ ^with^ ^friends^ ^and^ ^mainstream^ ^news^ ^and,^ ^for^ ^them,^ ^those^ ^things^ ^just^ ^aren't^ ^on^ ^Mastodon^ ^yet)^
