      I don’t understand why someone would choose threads over mastadon, where they could have all the dunking with none of the enshittening.

        It’s still too complicated for the layperson to have to navigate. Anything beyond “I have one login at one site that everyone else has” is too much for most.

          My grandma put electrical tape over the blinking 12:00 on the vcr she still uses. She’s not ready for 2 factor authentication.

        Yeah but they and their friends can “do it together” and/or they’re seeing tens of millions of people do it overnight. It’s just kind of a “I want to be a part of it” effect in some ways, whether they feel strongly about it or not. I’m sure there’s a more proper term for it.

        Nobody chose threads. It just got shoved down their throats.

        Also, Mastadon doesn’t have the same marketing these companies do.
