This is absolute precious. Twitter is threatening to sue Threads for hiring the same people Elon fired (many he tried to fire for cause).

Now they are saying the same people they called incompetent, slackers and whatnots were indeed crucial to the app and are transferring trade secrets to Meta. Big LMAO.

#ElonMusk #Twitter #Threads #Meta

Doing a test here to see how much reach this #mastodon account with 550 followers has compared to the same test on #Threads with a 430 Follower count.

I suspect I already know the answer.

If you see this please Boost and Like, and if you want to leave a comment feel free to that.

Will you be joining the Meta Threads platform?

Some of you may notice that I just tweaked my introduction.

My thanks to @blazeward7 for making it happen! Happy reading, all, and spread the word!

There is a large and destructive fire in the center of Moscow, with the Pushkin restaurant at its center. Reports from witnesses indicate that the fire was preceded by an explosion. The co-owner of the restaurant is Ernst, a prominent Russian propagandist and the CEO of Channel One.

I never would have heard about Threads if it werent for the fediverse... which I find ironic because I signed up to it just to keep an eye, something i wouldnt have done if it wasnt for the anti-threads commotion going on over here.

From the blog. The other day I saw "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." Here is my review, as a historian and a longtime fan of the franchise. The review does not contain spoilers (beyond what's in the movie trailer) and I also give my thoughts on the historical context and accuracy of the film and its central MacGuffin, the fascinating Antikythera Mechanism. #histodons #movies #indianajones #dialofdestiny #ancientgreece #worldwar2

I’m coming to love #Mastodon’s boost culture. Everybody’s all like, “Follow everyone! Boost it all!”

In the Blue Place, it felt like we were all competing for attention. Here, it’s more like we’re cooperating for attention.

At one level, that doesn’t make sense—everyone still has only so much attention to spend. But it *feels* better, and without The Algorithm enforcing power law, winner-take-all dynamics, the boost culture does seem to lift a lot of voices that were drowned out over there.

I love when ex-coworkers like/share/post hyper-conservative messages on LinkedIn because it gives me the heads up I need to erase them from my life.

This is just awful news.

Elon Musk's biggest accomplishment is making Mark Zuckerberg look like the competent threat.

I love #dnd whenever we get to play, but playing on a weeknight means we don’t get to play as long and we’re all more tired. And we have to the next day. I love when we all have the same day off and can just hangout for hours. #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #gaming

It's always morally correct to humiliate, mock, bully, torment and/or ridicule any and all billionaires.

None of them are good. If they want our solidarity they need to stop being billionaires.

John Oliver says that continuing to use a website that you're "protesting" isn't really a protest.
You wouldn't boycott a shop by continuing to shop there would you?

Comparing and contrasting app privacy policies for Threads, Bluesky, Twitter and Mastodon:

I really should not be surprised but here I am, bitching about it on a Wednesday night as one of my personal worst fears, a rebranding of one of the tech giants responsible for the rise of QAnon and right wing radicalism towards a space that should be guarded

And people are fucking exalting it. We really live in a sick society. And I wish I could just eject from it and live in a tree.

Why the Biden administration is no longer allowed to talk to social media platforms

A Trump-appointed judge just blocked the White House from fighting misinformation, citing free speech concerns.

With not a SINGLE INSTANCE of government threatening interference found, a Trumper Judge has blocked our governments ability to:

Block Election Lies
Block Covid Lies
Block Vaccine Lies

So, the government can't say Trump's "lightbulb up your ass" is wrong!
#Trump
