@sandwich yeah...my issue is similar, but these days I haven't been doing much outside of watching pro wrestling and attending events. There's virtually no pro wrestling discussion here.

In the 3 months that I've been on Threads, I've already gotten 700+ followers that all mostly talk pro wrestling. Also, since they're not as hostile to AI, I've managed to get about 500k views on my posts over those 3 months.

I've gotten a few hate replies, but it's nothing like if I post AI stuff here.

Also, people were complaining about Meta's lack of moderation but from my experience, every time I see hate or vitriol from someone, even if its not moderated, it's severely called out and shat on by the wider community.

It really feels like a corporate Fedi over there, but more diverse and less close minded people.

Sorry, slight rant.

@BeAware “Also, people were complaining about Meta's lack of moderation but from my experience, every time I see hate or vitriol from someone, even if its not moderated, it's severely called out and shat on by the wider community.”

Yes, exactly!!! There doesn’t seem to be any tolerance whatsoever for that kind of nonsense. And I agree; there’s a much more broad scope of discussions there.

Maybe I should re-open my account…

@BeAware @sandwich I agree that it would be cool if there were more pro-wrestling discussion.

However, I find it harder to discuss wrestling here than on other tools or platforms. It's hard to express how you feel about a great heel or something that happens, as Fedi is so much more positive.

I know that's limited to my own experiences, mind you.

@SwiftVoltas @sandwich yeah...here's just so little of it here for me. I love me some heels!

Becky!🤭

@BeAware @sandwich There is shockingly little! I feel that talking about it here will be the beginning of a little community.

@SwiftVoltas @sandwich it would!

In the meantime, I have found a great community over on threads while I'm waiting for them to finally pull the trigger on full federation. It's just taking them so damn long.

@BeAware @sandwich That's cool. I'm glad WWE is thriving haha.

@SpaceLifeForm every time I post AI stuff here, I get hate comments. People are said to be more kind to disabled people here, but I'm disabled in a way that I could never learn to draw like someone else could, so I use AI to realize my creativity.

That doesn't matter to most people. They just see AI and go into full rage mode.

You've always been kind to me and I appreciate you.

@BeAware @SpaceLifeForm without judging the merits or morality of your art, getting excoriated after exhibiting your art in public has pretty much been the one constant in the history of art. So you're in good company.
