You need to activate the threads account. People are being asked to follow accounts which haven't been activated IE created.
You're missing the point.
So think of it like a 'feature' of Instagram then. You can enable the feature or you can leave it disabled but either way its sharing user data and login information etc.
I don't think I'm missing any point. Have you used it? They're owned by the same company. Threads is separate but part of Instagram. Other than the user name being reserved on Threads in case the Instagram user wants to sign up, there isn't an account created. If you try to search the name of any of those accounts in Threads it doesn't come up at all. (Edit: mistyped a word)
Argh
Lemmy is your chance to have a discussion without the needless hostility that Reddit et al has. Maybe try saying "I actually find it quite convenient, here's why" etc
It's your chance to derail every conversation into petty social media drama so you can reinforce your fragile superiority complex, that's for sure.
They weren't smug at all. They suggested you not be hostile. It's not a crazy idea.
Thank you. I will. Enjoy your stay.
You're from reddit aren't you?
Please leave.
How about you use the most basic social etiquette available and be at least not a total asshole.
And how about I take this chance to remind everyone that we can all block the users we don't want to interact with. And that maintaining a block list is a great way to ensure a decent online experience
The block list should be shared, too, like a reputation chain or collaborative filter. "You and user X have both blocked Users A, B, and C. User X has also blocked D. Would you like to, too?" We can each decide the kind of moderation we want to see.
