@rootcompute i haven't seen any? maybe .games blocks it.

@buru5 They pretty much only pop up when I'm browsing the global federated timeline. If not for that I'd probably be blissfully unaware

@rootcompute i blocked the instance the first day it appeared on explore.

@lonelyautomata I am tempted. Doesn't appear to be anything of value so far

@rootcompute that's not matter if there's value or no, but principles. It's the bloody fuckenberg, a vampire looking for the next body to suck dry. Never trust something from the guy that looks like a lifeless Polar Express character.

@lonelyautomata Yea I generally agree but I mean, I still use Twitter for certain things even though it's owned by another dumb out of touch billionaire. At a certain point you just have to decide for yourself which tradeoffs are worth it.

I'm not on threads by choice but it doesn't really harm me to see what's on there via federation. If there's a cool retro gaming account worth following I wouldn't be opposed, but the content appears to be far from that

@rootcompute I did it immediately hahaha

@jake4480 Smart man. Most accounts I see on there appear to be grindset influencers, I came here to escape that kind of thing lol

@rootcompute exactly. I want NONE of that crap. I already begrudgingly use Instagram for a couple things, I have ZERO interest in Threads haha
