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.

I’d you have to create a threads account, which shares and logins to your Instagram account, for it to be active, but people are being sent advice to follow accounts which haven’t been activated, then this is bad faith behaviour and not misinformation.

Good points. The musings of Lemmy/kbin/other users will be lost in the mass of karen posts, soccer moms, extremist views, god knows what else.

It’s pretty obvious that those who came here from Reddit or wherevee are looking for a place that is not dictated to by commercial interests, and if threads attaches onto these communities, I guess we’ll leave for somewhere else.

What is the purpose of bots, other than spam, lemmy tools and 3rd party scrapers (if that’s a thing)?
