Everyone: wtf where is Lu!?!?

Lu, phasing through all matter and energy thanks to their sick boots: lol. LMAO!

@LargeTesticles @KennyLogins @BuluBane @pileofgarbage @SenatorIvy @s_ridenour @snarthelg @jlhamilt @luigithirty @jimprov @Canoepickles @potatosalad @AGODDAMNHORSE @butt @bluntzkrieg420 @jimprov @typhoonjim @bastage @aftertheboop Yeah but that's where you're crossing into idiom town. I think the English Language idiom is 'mileage' but that doesn't mean it has a 1:1 translation

RIP canoe

The whole "we don't moderate content, we just enforce tagging it properly so the robust filters work" seems like it will be difficult to get past for me.

As always, you do you, but I think I'll wait and see until it's out of invite-only (i.e. beta) before I make any hard moves

OTOH Threads via Instagram seems like an instant non-starter as it appears to be 100% algo-driven TL with basically zero ability to curate

As I was saying on The Other Site, I wouldn't attribute most of its design to malice as I would shortcuts for insane deadlines

@KennyLogins @snarthelg @BuluBane @pileofgarbage @LargeTesticles @s_ridenour @luigithirty @SenatorIvy @jlhamilt @jimprov @Canoepickles @potatosalad @AGODDAMNHORSE @butt @bluntzkrieg420 @jimprov @typhoonjim @bastage @aftertheboop 'You can't delete your threads account without deleting your insta because they're trying to fool you into staying in the meta eco system'

One billion percent it's because they just re-used the insta login modules

@SenatorIvy @KennyLogins @snarthelg @BuluBane @pileofgarbage @LargeTesticles @s_ridenour @luigithirty @jlhamilt @jimprov @Canoepickles @potatosalad @AGODDAMNHORSE @butt @bluntzkrieg420 @jimprov @typhoonjim @bastage @aftertheboop Nah I'm still saying it's bad, but there's people trying to attribute some like Grand Evil Plan when it's more obviously just 'we had two weeks to make it and all these bits just lying around'
@SenatorIvy @KennyLogins @snarthelg @BuluBane @pileofgarbage @LargeTesticles @s_ridenour @luigithirty @jlhamilt @jimprov @Canoepickles @potatosalad @AGODDAMNHORSE @butt @bluntzkrieg420 @jimprov @typhoonjim @bastage @aftertheboop These are not symptoms of 'an instagram retention tactic' they are symptoms of 'oh fuck we need to put something out asap to take advantage of twitter fucking everything up' and a lack of actual time to plan and build a Real App
@AndrewFairbairn @KennyLogins @snarthelg @BuluBane @pileofgarbage @LargeTesticles @s_ridenour @luigithirty @jlhamilt @jimprov @Canoepickles @potatosalad @AGODDAMNHORSE @butt @bluntzkrieg420 @jimprov @typhoonjim @bastage @aftertheboop Right. So instead of creating a new Viper, Cobra Commander said "put the pieces of these dead Vipers together and dunk them in Cesspool's toxic vats". That doesnt make the end result NOT Cobra

Facebook has real Wider Vision. It's why they thought people would like the Meta Verse.

Their Wider Vision is 'how can we advertise brands more'
