Twitter was tanking before threads came along. All meta did was read the writing on the wall and release threads on the world with exceptional timing.

Competition always makes services and goods better for the people.

Side bar, but what are the verbs for when people put out a post on Threads or Mastadon?

I absolutely love how we get to be (and other platforms) in their reckoning.

This is excellent. It’s easier to engage with two smaller competitors than it is with one larger one. And maybe Zuck will get distracted and forget about us or something. lol Though I kinda doubt it…

We’re still not fully ready for primetime yet anyway though. Apps are still adding important functionality, we’ve got vulnerabilities, and world is slow as hell today and experiencing hiccups. Half the current userbase is still ironing out our understanding of the basics. So, don’t really mind if they do keep selling us short and not mentioning us. For now at least.

wish there was a rust port of mastodon so it would scale better

This is the end for Twitter.

Made up stories to make clickies.
