https://www.reuters.com/technology/zuckerberg-musk-fight-is-meta-launches-twitter-killer-threads-app-2023-07-05/

"Meta Platforms (META.O) on Wednesday launched a direct challenge to Twitter with Threads, garnering millions of users in hours as it sought to take advantage of its rival's much-weakened state after a series of chaotic decisions from owner Elon Musk.

Those quick to join the new platform included celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez as well as prominent politicians such as Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez."

/\ If those are the calibre of troops Meta has, then its a case of 'Attack averted'.

Doesn't even register on my give-a-fuck-o-meter. Never used twitter. Unlikely to ever use twitter. Unlikely to ever use a twitter clone site.

Nothing good ever comes of it.

If Twitter's shit then how is cloning it going to be an improvement? At least with Mastodon and Bluesky you have something technologically different. That being said the "success" (or more accurately the notoriety) of Twitter is the spectacle of mid-wits slagging each other off like two dogs fighting over a bone. I don't think Zuk understands enough about human interactions to get the moderation right and set the correct tone.

You are saying that about the person who created Facebook? Maybe you should think about what you are about to post before you post it.

Elon has history with not really understanding shit....

Someone has to pick up the slack since the disappearance of dangerous & disagreeable dyslexic dave Wink

The running joke is Zuk being reptilian, an android or an alien. Do you not go on the Internet much?

The See Eee Oahs of the scocial media cuntpanies doesn't bother me.
Zuckacock is weird, Musket is eccentric.

It's the twee fuckers who sit in judgement of what I post who are the troublemakers.

When the musket run off the whankers of twitter it made sense.

Woke is driven via social media.

The nonsense spouted by the antisocial autists who wake up on the wrong side of reason every morning, are part of what's wrong in the west today.

Activist Cunts and their whore moderating cohorts.

Twitter threatens legal action over Threads app

tl;dr Twitter fires a load of staff, Meta hires said staff, 6 months later Meta has a Twitter clone. Lawyers most affected Rolling Eyes

The only reason this has come about is because the people who like Cancelling every other opinion other than theirs, want Twitter that is ran by Musk gone, they cant outspend him to buy it and they cant have it closed down by court so they'll try and make their own and hope it damages him just enough to maybe get their way.

They're happy enough buying his Tesla's though, so they're funding their own Hate figure

Parler died because Amazon threw it off their servers. When it came back it was watered down and censored to death.
Mastadon I was never familiar with.
If Meta is just offering a censored version of Twitter, it won't last.

I was reading imgur.
Some of the stuff was humorous.

It changed over time to become a thing of woke.

I was instructed that comedy should Punch Up.

I replied that they should Fuck Off.

A thunderstorm of negative Karma was swiftly received.
Cool

It's polluted by Left Leaning Lackeys.

like any new piece of land, a bunch of folks have to rush in and put their flag down, before their preferred username gets taken etc.

thats now happened. theres your 50mil accounts (influencers...god i hate that name...more like liars and shills...anyway...

and then tumbleweed follows.
Being first does count for a lot in this game, and twitter was first.

Mastodon is alive and doing well and gaining members.

Parler deserved everything that happened to it.

Certain people will congregate there because they love censorship and constant Government propaganda.

And yet not significant Thinking Mastodon works too well - it doesn't have the capacity to stroke egos.

It's a pretty large player - certainly in my professional fields at least, with a decent international audience as well. As for not stroking egos, that makes it perfect for the people that use it Wink

It was a vipers nest of far right activists and general bigots. Of course, they've all migrated to Telegram and various other hidey holes...

There's free speech and there's the spewing of bile, bigotry and hate. I support the former.
