Complaining about the platform she used completely misses the point.

No. She is the one mentioning it, and I don't understand her point. She complains that no one knows her on Threads, because she moved from Twitter? Then @DarkCloud@lemmy.world 's comment is quite reasonable.

They intentionally missed the point

Seriously though. Publicity doesn't make you a person. You know who else thinks it does. Trump. And thinking that way gets us more people in control who care more about image than doing anything. A better ending to that post would have focused on the accomplishments, not the person. Like noting that it was that easy to make womens accomplishments dissapear or something like that.

Do you suppose they would have received fewer downvotes if they rephrased their comment such that the first part conveys empathy and the second part recommends to try other platforms?
