I sincerely hope Threads follows through with their plan to federate. It will give other Fediverse users a controlled pipeline to the zeitgeist.

Also there’s an academic version called “Faculty Meeting.”

Can’t imagine loaning someone money and they can’t pay so you repossess their monkey JPEGs. Just writing the previous sentence has me giggling 🤭 🤣😆😄
