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.
I mean, it is annoying to have to reset the clock every time the power fails. No clock, no problem!
Mastodon is the least like that of them though
Nobody chose threads. It just got shoved down their throats.
Also, Mastadon doesn't have the same marketing these companies do.
