They are not pro United States, but I don’t think they are against America. They have a big modern army, and a good strategic position. They are pro Ukrania and against Russia imperialism. They are looking for their own benefit in every negotiation and sometimes that doesn’t align with what the West wants and that’s makes some people thinks Turkey = bad. It is a Muslim majority country and they have a lot of cultural differences with the cultural christian west. Some people have beef against the president Erdogan. I don’t like him either but he is not the dictator some people wants us to belive. Like it or not, he won the last election fair and square. People can be against him but that’s how democracy works. In general, I think they are an ally, the type who doesn’t want to take direct orders or doesn’t want you to tell them what to do.

I think their strategy is not gonna work. Meta is universally hated by everyone using the Fediverde now. The majority of Mastodon / Lemmy users are here looking for alternatives.

Also, I dont think Facebook and Instagram users are looking for a Twitter alternative.

Also, Meta is good buying stuff (Instagram, WhatsApp) but they have a history of trying new apps that are never successful.

I predict Meta Threads will close in a couple of months.

That was a good read. Thanks for sharing.

I’m using Jerboa. Its good and its very similar to Bacon Reader. I’m just missing the bacon reader setting “hide read posts” and the hability to swipe to navigate and read posts.

I was using Bacon Reader for Android for the last 10 years. For me it was the only way of using Reddit. I’m now checking Lemmy. I hope we can build a vibrant community here. I’m not coming back to Reddit.
