why is signal not an option?
neither, I am autistic, it's not a choice, it's a need.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that if the size of Lemmy.world is already causing so much problems, imagine what would happen with threads...
Technical problems aside, I am against big instances, a single entity holding so much power is a problem no matter who that entity is. I would suggest creating a policy against that, but it's hard to figure out concrete limits against such instances, maybe no instance should hold more than 50% of MAU?
Last but not least, as others have said, threads is known for their poor moderation. Cutting off trolls early is important in creating a healthy platform, the more space and attention you give them, the worse they get. Threads is not ready to deal with that, nor does it have the incentive to do so.

I feel you, I have been facing the same issue pretty much my whole life, the last 3 years I have been able to identify it and make some progress. I am not in a perfect state, not even a good one, but I am making progress and I am happy with it.
For me, the problem was trying to catch up. My pattern involved the following cycle:
- I would feel I am "behind" and the guilt would start to build up.
- The guilt would get so bad that I would start doing the things.
- As I was catching up, the guilt would decrease, and I would start feeling the exhaustion building up.
- I would try to power through until I would crash and go into a state of depression.
- Repeat from step 1.
In other words, I was exhausting myself while trying to catch-up, when I was finally ahead the guilt wouldn't be enough to motivate me anymore, and I would crash.
Changing my outlook helped a lot. Instead of trying to catch-up, now I am aiming for consistenxy. This is really hard, as it involves taking a break when I need to even if it means "getting behind". When I changed my outlook my productivity decreased considerably and it took a few months to get at an acceptable state. I tried to be patient, keeping records helped a lot as I was able to see the improve from one week to another.
Recognising my rest needs is really hard, I just don't feel it untill my brain goes absolutely numb. Keeping a journal has helped me analyze my behaviours and recognise my limits. I try to respect those limits by being proactive and schedule rest days before I crash.
Ultimately, this is my experience and yours may be different. Some general guidelines would be to try to take things one step at the time and rely on your journal because your memory is not a reliable source of information.
PS I fucking hate journaling, it's the worst things ever, and having to rely so much on it drives me crazy.
It sounds a bit too soon to use release names, especially given that Lemmy is still in alpha.
When a major release comes out, I suggest using colony names (fictional or real), like the pirate republic.
In general, I like names that highlight the decentralised aspect of the fediverse.
or chapters from "Das Capital"
What is a just a minute protest? asking for a friend
Maybe something nexus project related? Working with the largest research paper database is definitely going to provide you with a decent challenge.
It may sound boring, but I would appreciate a good open source alarm app for android.
