I figured it out. Threads is just Facebook. That’s it. It’s just Facebook for the people on Insta who think they’re too good for Facebook.

@fraying It's the perfect Meta project. Not only a worse version of a competing platform, but also a worse version of a platform they already own. It's glorious. They should have sent a poet.

@ianrosewrites @fraying the app is not allowed in my jurisdiction because of data privacy concerns but I have to say you are not selling it very warmly.

@ianrosewrites @fraying I remember when Facebook itself was just an inferior version of MySpace (pre-Farmville at least)...

@ianrosewrites @NewtonMark @fraying And the worst possible name: “Threads”
Known to all screen readers as “Threats”
Also either Threats, or Trets to most of the non-english speaking world. (and most of the english speaking world for that matter-try to enunciate that pluralized terminal D clearly. Don’t roll off the tongue.

“Threats” is negative and scary and a brain-dead choice.
I hear they’re calling their Toots “Throots”. Clever, no? No.

@fraying It's kind of amazing people can't figure that out. I looked at Twitter this morning and saw that Threads was trending. People were posting like they were escaping some prison camp, but really they are just choosing to be moved to a different prison camp. They just don't realize it yet.

@fraying I have to admit, I created a threads account solely to add to the numbers. Never mind that Musk is an innumerate dimbulb, I still wanted him to see numbers. I’ll probably never use the account.

I am an epic grudge-holder, and that fascist transphobe pos Musk thoroughly earned every tiny bit of petty vengeance I have

@lisamelton @fraying I figure if people don't want to use threads, they don't have to. Business is business.

@fraying Isn't that what Insta is? Facebook but without people thinking you're old?

@Roundcat right, but it didn’t have text posts. Now it does.
