No fences up my ass here, I didn't jump so quickly to lemmy to be immediately joined to fucken Facebook. Like. At all. I'd bet a quick poll would speak loudly
I hate to say this opinion would be minority even on Lemmy. People value convenience over anything else
I dont think you've taken into account what people in lemmy value the most.
Their principles. They mostly joined lemmy because one of their principle is against big corp controlling us for their own purpose.
That's why threads is being blocked preemptively. Because they are corpo. Now compare that to exploding heads instance. The slowness of blocking another instance because of hate speech and bigotry. It's because exploding heads issue does not or barely touched most lemmy peoples principle trigger. They allowed it to exist first for a long time before even considering of blocking it
for real, i'm not here because of convenience. it's pretty inconvenient, actually.
i willingly give enough away to corporate overlords as it is... this is one of the occasions where i choose to not... despite the inconvenience.
