Wow! Victoria has just ditched the 2026 Commonwealth Games due to ballooning costs. That's bound to throw a few spanners in the works.

@mschfr yep I don’t think Threads will connect to Mastodon. Can’t see what Meta gains from it - other than some Kudos. As they are a for profit company why let their users leave, why would they. Maybe in the EU it might be worthwhile to keep the regulators onside.
It is a bit frustrating that less than a day later, nearly every major news outlet has joined and is active on that new social media app. But I guess that app has the viewers…
The letter from Twitter's lawyer to Meta over Threads is comically bad. There's no substance, just a vague claim that Twitter employees Elon fired had some sort of dark magic in their brains about how to make a microblogging service.
