Annalee Newitz 🍜I am a tech nerd and commentator who jumps on every new social media thing but I have absolutely no interest in the non-organic, autotuned community McMansion that is Threads. Seriously, do we really need another product from the "we didn't invent fascism, we just give the people what they want" company?
John Colagioia@annaleen The entire enterprise feels like a weak SNL skit. "We're creating Instagram, but for text. Also, moderation is hard and despite being one of the wealthiest companies on the planet, it's going to take a few years to figure out how to not have calls for ethnic cleansing or election disinformation. And we're holding your other account hostage. Oh, and to future-proof it, we're going to join the system that...already exists and works better, eventually."
