Would banning threads users be a mod violation?

I don't really know that I have a duty to do that. And I've been beating the drum for a decade plus now. We see what little good it does. People just want the easiest UI/UX regardless of other considerations.
But I'm open to hearing your suggestion on how you teach someone on a corporate platform associated with Facebook how corporate owned internet is bad.
I could and should make my rule include a call to action to create an account on another instance. Is that sufficient education?

Tell your Monster Hunter origin story

I inherited my addiction from a coworker/friend. I was recruited to help him pass a wall he could not solo through in MHFU: the infamous Plesioth hipcheck barrier. He set me up with an LBG, probably the most straight forward weapon for a non-hunter gamer to grasp. From there, things just spiraled as I lost control of my life. Through fortunate timing, Tri was only months from release when I started my MHFU journey, so I developed my habit right as a steady supply of the primo ish was starting to come out, and I haven't wanted to or been able to shake the habit since.

Perhaps crazy how sudden and fast it happened, but not that it happened at all. Enshittification is a well known thing by now and it comes for all the corporate sites with IPO dreams. Any hope Reddit had of staying true to its purpose died with Aaron.
Lemmy/kbin/the fediverse has a better shot at resisting that due to the decentralized nature. But, the younger generations have some tech learning to do if all the reports about their general inability to use anything that's not an app is to be believed.

What's your Main?

Ever since the day Tri blessed us with the Swaggiest of Axes, it's been my go-to, where I start all titles and know It will just fit while I learn the new lay of the land. Styling on mons while I morb all over the place just fits like a glove.
But I also maintain a healthy rotation of Lance, CB, and Bow as well.
Bow is usually reserved for endgame since it typically is at its best then.
Picked up Charge Blade and really mained it in 4U. These days, I can't really resist the pizza cutter now and then.
I toyed with Lance in FU, but it also became more of what it is today in Tri when it got the counter thrust and its just been getting better since.

Boomsticking is a noble profession, but seems to get the ass end of the stick for QoL and balance, based on what I read. I've never clicked with it, even in RiseBreak. And, pre-Shockproof, I was growing hateful of GLers for Bullet Barrage. But that jet propulsion system is cool as shit and looks fun.
