Threads (App)
 

Anyone joined up yet? It does look like it could have legs. It’s almost identical to Twitter only with a slightly less annoying billionaire in charge and without the ever right wing leanings.

that_bloke_russ if anyone feels like a daily dose of sarcasm, occasional attempts at humour and amusing pics I find online but claim as my own,

Maybe I'm behind the times but I find it hard enough keeping up to date with Facebook posts so don't have time for any more social media accounts.


I never really was a fan of twitter to be honest.

I've had a little play this morning, and so far, my take on it is....

it's like twitter, maybe a few more pictures in my feed, but maybe that's to be expected

i don't use twitter or InstaGram that much though.

More crap on my phone.

I’m so triggered by its title. Genuinely had nightmares for ages when the BBC screened that. The fact the opening monologue was done by the same bloke who used to voice-over QED, the BBC’s regular weekly science and innovation documentary, lent it an additional air of authentic Armageddon. :disturbd:

Anyhoo … I downloaded it this morning. So far it looks half-built. Little more than insta with the photos removed. I suspect they’ve rushed it out to capitalise on Musk’s ongoing vandalisation of Tw*tter. If they really do want a billion users they will have to do what they have always resisted doing with instagram and give it web and tablet versions that make best use of the larger screens. If they insist on restricting it to phones they will struggle to pick up the institutional users that used to make the bird a reliable place to go for up-to-date news and information.

Musk has got his lawyer(s) to send a “Cease & Desist” letter to Zuckerberg. Says he’s hired former Twitter employees & they are treading on intellectual property breaches & Twitter secrets, by launching Threads.

I never got involved in twatter and i certainly will not get involved in this add on to Facebook.

Re: Threads (App)
 

Bluesky Social is coming soon too, if it hasn't already. It's an app that's more like Twitter, made by the guy who made and ran Twitter before he sold it.

Personally, couldn't care less and won't be joining any of them.

Re: Threads (App)
 

I hope Threads works out. I don't like Meta but Twitter is being ruined. Rate limits, killing the third-party apps and just Musk making random decisions seemingly for attention.

The Elon's Jet account is back on threads: https://www.reuters.com/technology/s...source=twitter

I won't be using it. Why move from a platform that is less regulated to one that is openly moderating by government shills?
