"No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing."

Elon Musk is an idiot. He fires 75% of his workforce and expects them to not work in tech? Meta is smart enough to know better than to put any of those people on a team to develop something to compete against the bird site.

I'm rooting for the cage match at the Roman Colosseum to happen! Not a fan of Mark Zuckerberg, but I'll take him against Elon the doughy white man, any day anytime! 😂

@NerdGirlInVR @w7voa People switch jobs between related companies all the time, plus this is a great reason to use activity pub as part of the tech -- no Twitter trade sekrits there.
