My second Mastodon server. I m a bit introverted so I don't post as much as I should. Sorry.
I was thinking more about the Twitter/Threads thing over the weekend and realized that what Musk is creating/offering is a place to perform dominance as a reaction to feeling under threat. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/10/elon-musk-twitter-threads/

The Washington Post
Oh no, someone’s been bad mouthing George Osborne, the architect of austerity. The man who still says it was great, refuses to acknowledge it killed people, fucked the NHS,& made millions of lives a misery. Coke snorting in parliament George is corrupt as the best of them (See Uber) I hope George’s big day isn’t ruined

Leaves, anyone? Anyone fancy some leaves?

Escaping #Twitter to go to #Threads is like jumping from the Titanic into the sea, passing out from the cold, then being taken aboard what you think is a rescue ship only to find you're actually back onboard the Titanic.

Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads | Semafor

The threat suggests that Threads is the most serious rival yet to Elon Musk's chaotic social platform.

Since it's 4th July, let's repost a few threads on What Did The Founding Fathers Think About Things?
What did the Founding Fathers think about abortion? That Americans needed instructions on how to induce it, with a side order of sockpuppet mischief. https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/109715757585144488

OLD THREAD REPOST In 1758, Benjamin Franklin published an instructional manual containing matters "more immediately useful to us Americans." The book contained advice on all sorts of topics including writing, bookkeeping, arithmetic... and a recipe for inducing abortion.
