@JamesGleick I was assuming the response was thousands of federated poop emojis? I hear that's what all social networks without PR teams do.
Just kicking back and contemplating the GOPs totally normal “Biden has too much power so when I’m president I’m going to totally centralize power in the White House but not like a dictator” vibe.
Amadi LovelaceHow many people noticed that Mississippi is attempting to make it impossible for minors to borrow *any* eBooks via library systems? https://bookriot.com/hoopla-overdrive-libby-now-banned-for-those-under-18-in-mississippi/
Federated Threads sounds like:
A 2010s online clothing app
A sweatshop era textile mill
The opening act at the next concert you''ll see
Something that might or might not happen

Whether intentional or not, the choice of 'Threads' for the new Zuck platform must be torture for Elon, who can't mass block mentions without disrupting his own threaded tweets functionality (One of the few that appears to actually work.)
“Tunnel closed? Take the T,” they said. “Big opportunity for the T to prove it's worth,” they said.

@mollyquell You may be happy to be watching the fish in the tank by the end of the day.
Jeff JarvisNow it's true that Threads gets users to critical mass immediately thanks to Instagram & FB. The *real* lesson there is not that their power wins but that portability of one's own social graph is vital and we must insist on it.
Dan GillmorIt gets more absurd every day for Big Journalism to keep pouring its work into Saudi-government-funded Twitter, which is controlled by a right-winger who hates real journalism and boosts extremists.
It gets even more absurd for journalism orgs to keep embedding tweets in their stories, given Musk's unfathomable destruction of the platform's usefulness.
I keep wondering when journalists will discover that big tech is not their daddy.
