It’s not a real Internet service until it has furries on it.

I don’t understand people obsession with nudity on general-purpose social media
For me, its because its the canary. If no porn, then probably too corporate for real discussion
this is actually a pretty good take imo
As much as I dislike porn (exploitation industry etc) this is a good take.
This is legitimately the best take here.
Look the ppl follow the porn js
I don’t understand people’s obsession with assuming that having a passing interest in something society frowns upon means they’re obsessed with it.
I doubt it would overwhelm threads in any meaningful way, unless it just happened to have a perfect storm of features that appealed to pornographers. So their view that “You can’t do that! It’s not right!” seems like they’re not really aiming to make a service that people can use… but a product they can sell to advertisers. Not that I doubted that anyone thought it’d be any different.
The thing is, you can have both. You just have to not go whole hog on either. You have to find a middle ground.
Making a big deal of a platform that doesn’t want to have nude content on it when there are multiple other places where you can post nudity is obsessive
Is discussion such a disgusting topic to you that any time someone does it you break out in hives?
Talking about something doesn’t mean its an obsession, just a topic of interest. Just because you don’t take issue with it doesn’t mean it’s not worth discussing.
I’m here for my hobbies, which typically don’t involve naked people. I liked tumblr back in the day because of the really strong underground music scene on it, but it just vanished all at once when they changed the rules. Really bummed me out since I made some good friends and was able to promote my music really well there.
Why do people forget that Meta is primarily an advertisement company. Each and every one of their platforms is made purely for data harvesting. Of course it would be sanitised for the advertisers.
Also it’s an half baked app which was made in a hurry and it’s just opportunistic.

But fucking hell I’m actually surprised on how brain dead people are. Most of my acquaintances have an iPhone. If you scroll down, the App Privacy section is atrocious. How can users not think about why the fuck would a half baked Twitter clone require your sleep schedule.
The only permission Threads is allowed on my Android phone is Notifications.
The Privacy section on iPhone is not about permissions though. Permissions for things like notifications/health/etc are separate and can be denied.
The privacy section is about “regardless of phone permissions, the company has to declare that they collect this data themselves in their own system”. Like ie, the threads app might collect its own data about your sleep schedule because they see you get on sometimes at 7am, and again at 11pm, so you probably sleep between those times roughly.
Forget the porn, no corporate can ever have safe harbor for my desire of sailing in the high seas. No I will not download your app, but I will download a car, and torrents.
Remember, meta’s VR chat clone died due to the fact that nothing below the chest was allowed. This was specifically because they didn’t want any avatar to be able to use anything between their knees and bellybutton for NSFW purposes.
Can’t make a Tumblr mistake if you just rip the bandaid off at launch (maybe)
Tumblr will get federated with Threads.
- That’s interesting! I was talking about this https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/06/style/tumblr-porn.html
Well, in many countries Twitter is the fastest way to get hooked to an escort
This is a really interesting theory. Maybe you could go into more detail to clear things up.
Go on…
Real talk, is WhatsApp more than just a text message replacement to people? I see it get brought up in talks about social media and I get very confused.
India has a real issue of forwarding misinformation on WhatsApp. And people getting added to group chats like telegram channels
In a lot of countries, entire businesses rely on it as a complimentary and necessary form of quick internal communication. Easy to form groups and share images/videos on the fly.
Overseas the app is the main platform for people to stay connected through text and voice messages too.
This. I do a lot of consulting for Korean companies and they live out of WhatsApp for all their business comms/file sharing similar to Slack.
You can post stories on WhatsApp.
I love that this is the actual title of the article, lol.
So, it sounds like the real Twitter killer will be BlueSky (if they allow NSFW).
Yeah Bluesky allows NSFW and is pretty great, the only issue is that they’re currently restricting it to a tiny number of users. Hopefully people people get annoyed at threads over time and are eager to rush to Bluesky when it becomes available rather than just getting used to the problems.
I’m thinking about filling the gap in the market by starting a social media called #turds. Can I get an amen?
