Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?
Even allowing people to follow that account?
Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

The point being what, exactly? That convenience is horrendous, even when that convenience makes sense given its the exact same platform using the exact same architecture that will likely be folded into one universal app at some point in the future?
Oh noooooo. What an awful conspiracy that a company would do the thing that is obvious and makes sense. How terrible.
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.
That wasn’t exclusive to reddit, nor was your smug attitude.
Welcome to the Internet
They weren’t smug at all. They suggested you not be hostile. It’s not a crazy idea.

You’re from reddit aren’t you?
Thank you. I will. Enjoy your stay.
Please leave.
No. Learn to take an ounce of sarcastic criticism when the option presented has no merit. Alternatively, get over it and move on instead of tryin to police who is on the website.
How utterly Reddit of you.
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.
