Eww Threads. Why would anyone want to look like that crap.
8 billion people, you do you. Also are we really complaining about more choices? In the spirit of FOSS, choice is good YMMV no prob
Also it's easier to onboard new people when the UI closely resembles what they're used to.
Everything zuck touches dies and is absorbed into zuck.
The look and feel of an application really does matter a lot. When Reddit's API got shut down and I couldn't use RIF anymore I tried using Reddit's own app. It sucked. It felt awful. It's extremely possible that if Reddit's app felt close to something I was used to I wouldn't have ended up swapping to Lemmy. So, if we want people to use Mastodon instead of Threads, why are you upset someone is making an app that uses Mastodon while looking like Threads?
