Threads is the most fun, most interesting new product of the year, and no one in the E.U. can use it, or will be able to use it anytime soon, because their own elected officials passed a law that effectively bans it.

Nice job. Have fun over here in the library.

@gruber Yup, and Meta is the most reliable company on Earth 😅
@jyrkiw You say that, but technically, I’d say Threads might be the most impressive online launch in the history of the internet. Incredible to just flip the switch and welcome 30 million new users in a day and, minor glitches aside, the thing just works.

@gruber John, we've known each other for a long time, and this is the most tone deaf take I've ever heard from you.

The primary feature of a social network is content moderation. So far, Facebook's approach to content moderation on Threads is to ban nudity, warn about curse words, and let a global, organized harassment campaign of homophobic and transphobic abuse continue unabated.

Speedrunning the world's largest Nazi bar is not an achievement; it's a colossal failure.

@a2_4am I don’t see anything like that on Threads, and have never seen anything like it on Instagram.
@gruber @a2_4am look harder.
