Of course, because a forced arranged marriage to a narcissistic fuckwit would have made her life so much better... /s

I'm thinking there's an inverse relationship between the size of the userbase for a social media platform, and the level of specialization of the communities. The Old Place, having millions of users, had lots of little specialized communities - r/trees, r/vaporents, r/oilpen, r/dynavap, etc.
Here on Lemmy, the userbase is smaller, so there's not enough activity on super-specialized communities, so people hang out in c/trees mostly - less specialized, but more users that way.
The thing I noticed right out of the gate when I went slumming on Threads is that the Android app package is 77MB. Compare that to Mastodon at 2.5MB.
Two apps that (from the user's perspective) do pretty much the same thing - make queries to servers and display pieces of text on the screen, maybe with some pictures or videos. Not that hard.
So what does that extra 74MB of bloat in the Threads app do? Meta's not telling us...
Safe spaces for fascism. Spez let The_Donald and its imitators fester for years, thus turning Reddit into a de facto Nazi Bar. Thus years of harassing non-fascists & minorities, brigading, spouting bigotry, disinformation and toxicity while the admins yawned.
Well, you don't have to be thaaaat careful. They have very thick skulls.
Hell yeah! Punch all the Nazis!
THE ONLY GOOD NAZI IS A DEAD ONE!
Didn't ya know, women are supposed to hide in the bleeding shed during that time of the month!
What a hill for those misogynistic shitfucks to die on...
