I have definitely thought about doing this on reddit subs that I ask a question on that gets buried in new…

Member woosh?

This is at least in the art style of the Adult Swim show My Adventures with Superman so maybe its a Manga accompaniment? Sorry if this was obvious I just heard of this show yesterday.

Ha Curb for me as well but Dota 2… Actually, that’s kinda fitting.

Stonewall Jackson?

Its amazing how international this S is and nobody knows where it came from. Its one of the most crucial social mysteries of the the late 20th century.

This is basically the only thing that’s been successful for me. I track my calorie intake with an app and shoot for net 1500 (with exercise).

I guess I didn’t specify well. What I meant was if Mastodon is an ad free (or at least let ads and more private) alternative to view Threads posts, along with Mastodon posts wouldn’t that reduce the number of threads accounts and reduce their growth? So wouldn’t defederating actually help draw more people to threads? Plus how would defederating reduce the E/E/E process that everyone is worried about? I would think it would accelerate it or best case have no impact…

Also I think I may have replied to the wrong comment lol

Honestly I am confused by this too. If you don’t federate with threads doesn’t that just make it easier to grow? Personally I am more curious about Mastodon now because if people I follow on twitter move to threads I can just use mastodon and not twitter or threads…

Yes I am in the US and I understand that this is a US centric problem though SMS is the feature that set signal apart from other secure messaging apps and made it slightly easier to get people to join. It was a nice alternative to imessage on android as opposed to yet another messaging app. Even in the US I have had to use SMS, WhatsApp, fb messenger, instagram’s DMs, Line, Group me, Matrix, etc, to talk to different people and I was not going to convince many to switch to signal (I tried).

I wish they hadn’t gotten rid of SMS though, that was the biggest sell for me over other options. I’m never going to get more than 2 or 3 people I regularly text to switch…
