It got 10 million users in just 7 hours.

I dont really mind Threads, but I hope it truly fuck Twitter over. I dont care if Zuck wins, I just want Elon to lose.

You mean (definitely not Facebook) is releasing Twitter2TM with a WHOPPING 500 character limit? So a company that’s perpetually abused it’s customers data is offering an alternative for castoffs from Reddit where they can serve you ads, limit your messages, and collect your data at the same time… in place of an already existent community driven instance of an open-source protocol / the ability to run my own instance? Fucking sign me up bro. Please Daddy Zuck, take it all! >:D

I never found Twitter to be particularly useful and basically forced myself to use it. After Elon took over and 3/4 of my feed is him posting stuff, or stuff about him, I haven’t opened it in months. I have zero interest in some other company’s knockoff.

When I was 15, for some reason a new social media platform launch made me excited. Twitter? Sign me up. Google is launching a new cool social media called Google Plus? Let’s go.

Nowadays? I use one: Lemmy. I wouldn’t touch a single big tech social media platform, and if Lemmy dies out… Guess I’m not using this type of service again.

One of the first things I saw when I arrived here 3 weeks ago was a graphic showing how much of your personal data it tracks? Wish I could find that now…
