I been looking into eating plant based foods for the pass two weeks, been drinking green tea and sometimes i'd mix some water with fruit stick powder' like lemon or grape.
I'm also looking into more plant based foods to try and enjoy.
The veggie burger I feel is a good way to convert some people who just like the filling taste of the traditional burger, and may not want to harm animals. I'm also into the health benefits of plant based foods.
@sour depends on how you see it.
My question is, what has Threads done to influence Mastodon development so far in a bad way.
lets Say threads is just the mainstream platform of the fediverse. The protocol is all open source, and every one is in control of their servers. If it is federated whats the worse that could happen?
Plus you can always switch to lemmy, firefish, and etc. to try to avoid threads platform wide.
@FinchHaven @ThatOneKirbyMain2568 what I meant by that section you quoted from the post was, if Meta were to influence the development of Mastodon. If you switch to Firefish or others mentioned, you would probably have a more preferred dev team then what could happen to Mastodon with Meta.
I wouldn't say kbin would be harmed necessarily even if maybe just a tiny bit. A good amount of the users on Lemmy (can't say much about kbin hadn't tried it yet) *hate* threads. So as an alternative to Mastodon, that would actually more likely score them points not detract from a user perspective.
Most likely, for a user to be on kbin or Lemmy you either come from Reddit, or you come from Mastodon so the users would had likely made up their mind on separating themselfs from major platforms, that likely includes threads.
