@WorMP3 did I say previously that there were NO companies on threads? Please link me becuase I definitely misspoke and need to correct that. There are 160m accounts there. There would be absolutely no way for me to tell just how many companies are there but it's a non-zero amount.
I'm sorry if I have said that. That would be a massive oversight on my part and I feel really bad that I would say such a ridiculous thing😳😔
But yes, of course, every CEO of a major company has an obligation to make money. That is how capitalism works, unfortunately. But let's be real, you aren't going to change that by potentially alienating a massive amount of people who could possibly think the same way as you, by blocking threads completely. There's 160m accounts there and most people just don't know there's an alternative to that hellhole.
That simple fact is what keeps me motivated to get people informed there. Because if they're informed and can make an informed decision to (maybe) move to Fediverse proper, then this EEE strategy has an even less chance of working, because there will just be more pushback.
More informed people is what we need and if you block Threads instead of trying to inform users there, it's just not doing any good for that. I do understand the people that block them for harassment fears like LGBTQIA+ folks. But I feel that if there were a decent amount of people willing to not block them in hopes to inform their users, it could do some good.
