   I do spend time on Threads, but the quality of posts here are an order of magnitude more sophisticated than they are over there. I really appreciate that. #mastodon

     @jasohill Also, nobody is copying posts that are literally on the same platform....🤦♂️

     It's fine to copy memes and jokes from other platforms, because you're just spreading the joy. But when you go to someone's profile on the same platform as you, and just copy and paste...you're just an asshole.

     This is a problem that Threads has...😬

     @BeAware You aren’t wrong there. Everyone is just trying for easy cred by copying other memes/videos. It’s obvious and lame.

     @jasohill 🤦♂️ Yep....copying from other platforms is fine. Memes aren't really "stealable" (if that makes sense) but on the same platform?!? give me a break...just boost the damn OP!

     It's one of the reasons I left the platform, besides having horrible direct interactions with their engineering team...

     @BeAware I was initially excited about some of the stuff I saw them doing, but yeah, it’s feeling pretty lackluster over there these days. I actually pay to support an instance here and I’ll keep on paying. Mastodon is worth it.

     @jasohill That's awesome!

     I have my own little corner of Fedi over here by myself, but more folks on other instances should support their instance admins.

     It's not cheap...

     @jasohill I do have issues with the way Mastodon devs are developing their software.

     ActivityPub, in general, is way more than *just* mastodon, as I'm sure you know. But, since they have 72% of all instances on Fedi, they can just make their own features, without worrying about adding value to AP. This forces other devs to adopt their code or be left behind.

     I think overall, this is bad for Fediverse and needs to stop happening. Though, I don't think it will and the other devs will just have to deal with it, unfortunately.

     Sorry to infodump my negative opinions, but I do think it should be talked about.

     @BeAware It certainly is not. But I think Mastodon has the most sustainable platform. And it can’t be bought and silenced.

     @BeAware Yeah, it does have the lion’s share. I fear that in open source environs that can happen. Smaller teams, fewer developers and less funding can cause the one group that gets those things to have too much influence and dominate. I think I’ve see think in the Linux distribution world as well.
