Jim CliffordReasons for historians to be concerned about Threads winning and killing Twitter: Twitter provides access for the Internet Archive and allowed my project full access to download up to 10 million Tweets a month related to COVID and Saskatchewan. Facebook and Instagram block the Internet Archive and don’t provide access to academics. Twitter owned by Musk is terrible and not currently providing access for new Academic projects, but Meta is also really bad for archiving.

@simon I wonder if it was confused by the Kashmir G20 summit in news reports it was trained on?
@timbray I was looking for a new service last week (to move off Readwise' Reader), and the front page of Newsblur made me think it was abandoned — the front page style and its pictures of phones look more than a decade old. I didn't bother trying it as I wanted something still maintained.

@Hacksaw @thesiswhisperer @pluralistic sadly even if they don't add an LLM, the web will be filled with its content. I'm not sure how they can filter this out and still allow distributed web of small sites? People are openly mentioning doing it on the bird app:
@b0rk You might have already seen it, but Jujutsu's list of improvements over Git are sorta a critique: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj
@jntrnr Dark Reader fixes it for me: https://darkreader.org
@skjeggtroll Yeah, that would be simpler
