If there is anything that's good about threads; it's what it's doing to Musk and Twitter.
Having said that it's not a place I'm ever planning on venturing into.

Agreed, Threads doesn’t even need to be federated either really, it’s just an excuse, I like that they are sticking it to Musk, that nob head needs his comeuppance.
An excuse for what? This is very ominously vague lol
Haha, yeah I guess when I read it back it does sound like that m, what I meant was the Zuck wants threads federated to scrape data, get more information on people etc, which is just plain shitty, I’m a recent Fediverse joiner, and seeing it being targeted already to me does not being happy feelings :)
I’m in the same boat. I didn’t think I’d end up caring about Threads much, especially since it didn’t even launch where I live.
But seeing how much Musk hates it has been pretty funny.
Musk is pretty noble, he spent 42 billion of his own money to help accelerate twitters downfall and create a competitor.
He’s certainly done me a favour. I wasn’t really in to Twitter but hadn’t heard of Mastodon until the 3rd app dust up.
Turns out Mastodon is very much my speed. I’m glad he decided to blow up Twitter.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
Why not mastodon?
it's been there ever since Elon banned it on his playground, but since you can't show ads on Mastodon, it doesn't exist for online reporters.
I think they have an account there as well.
WHY NOT ZOIDBURG WAWAWA
It's on mastodon too https://mastodon.social/@elonjet
I think with the entire federation business one should be able to follow it from lemmy too but it's not working for me. If i got to /u/elonjet@mastodon.social on lemmy then it shows me 0 posts.
Works for me on kbin (at https://kbin.social/u/@elonjet@mastodon.social (note the initial @, which may be a kbin thing))
Lemmy does the Mastodon thing too? Some critter(s) said that was only a kbin thing. Yay confusion! :3
Yeah, Lemmy doesn’t currently support microblogging and I’m not sure whether they plan to.
Thanks, added so I can be amused.
Already there
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Weird case of the enemy of my enemy being my enemy.
Now this is funny!
