I don't think there's a good reason to avoid threads so long as it contains good and interesting users, and isn't making huge demands from your users.

the “huge demand from your users” will immediately be having to deal with meta’s attrocious history with moderation and user safety being repeated.

honestly my threads feed is pretty good and i havent noticed too many issues with the things that plagued twitter. the trans community is pretty big on threads too which is nice.

I wonder if you can whitelist certain users, rather than the entire server

It doesn't though? Facebook's employers and users are 100% garbage people.

If you think everyone who uses facebok is garbage then the problem is you, you're a misanthrope.

I probably am a misanthrope, but that doesn't change the fact that anyone remaining on Facebook, Twitter, or even Reddit at this point, are bots, corporate shills, misinformation campaigns from enemy nations, or the idiots who have looked around at what's going on with their platform and went "Yeah I'll keep using this."

lol so my grandma is a garbage person because she hasn’t rage deleted her facebook account and setup shop on some federated instance where absolutely none of her family and remaining friends are while having to learn some completely new & often actively hostile interface. alright

[–] captain_aggravated 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. Knowing grandparent aged people, probably for more reasons than that.

Exactly. And if they can't behave, we can always defederate later. I don't see the rush.
