AlonOn Bluesky, people are mocking Fedi for its 4,200 Brazilian signups (Bluesky: 2 million), and @AstroKatie complained that last time she tried posting on Fedi, she posted a selfie and some asshole in comments demanded a CW for eye contact. It's a fascinating example of how a feature interacts with culture to subtract value. By itself, the CW feature is useful, as a spoiler warning. But combined with a culture of CWs, it empowers petty assholes to *demand* CWs, making the network less usable.
Randahl Fink#ElonMusk is posting information to portray both Mastodon and Instagram as child pornography sites.
These two social networks are X competitors, and Musk is using his own social network to misrepresent his competitors to 196 million followers.
Imagine if 196 million Volkswagen drivers received multiple messages on their car stereo from the CEO of Volkswagen that other car brands were "child porn car brands".
I doubt European competition laws would allow that.
ThreadsNew on Threads: We’re expanding sharing with the fediverse 🧵👇
In March, we announced a beta experience in a few locations. Now, we’re expanding that beta to Threads users in 100+ countries and adding additional fediverse functionality.

European CommissionWhich May was the hottest month on record? The last one.
And April? Again, the last one.
And March? Still the last one.
And the list continues until June 2023, cumulating in a 12-month streak.
This is why EU countries are committed to becoming climate neutral by 2050, aiming to emit no more greenhouse gases than they remove from the atmosphere.
We are leading the way in climate action.
