Their transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it’s users will not be allowed to proceed. We strongly encourage other instance...

I spent the last few days almost literally under a rock and... what the hell is Threads and why is it everywhere?
What were you doing to almost literally be under a rock? I'm intrigued
Spent most of the days hiking and biking in the mountains.
So you were literally ON a rock? Ok, that's close enough 😁
Meta's Twitter clone. The smart thing they did was convert over Instagram accounts, so there's a ton of semi-famous people on already. It's got a ton of attention in the past two days, just for being Twitter sans Elon.
Facebook equivalent of Twitter (an underwhelmingly simplified description). I am not a fan of Meta but I'm a fan of competition in any market so even though I have no plans to use Threads I'm glad it exists as yet another option to prevent one single platform from being "the" platform.
The new Twitter clone made by Zuck(meta/facebook.)
Its Meta's (Facebook) attempt at Twitter. Given how much Twitter is shitting the bed as well as Metas ability to push a new platform via their other channels, it has exploded overnight gaining millions of users almost instantly.
Well that makes sense. It's easy to gain millions of followers when you own Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. You just advertise to those users. Same reason that Google+ got 200 million users at it's height. The trick is keeping them engaged and being better than the alternatives.
