Threads does not need to steal people from the Fediverse. We are minuscule compared to Threads in just one day. Threads already has more content and engagement then us. They do not care about the Fediverse, they do not care about stealing people from the Fediverse. At most, the only reason they want to “support” it is because it makes them look good compared to the apocalyptic hellfire that is currently Twitter.

Good boy points are way more valuable to Meta than actual Fediverse users. They’re after Twitter users, not a small group of hardcore tech anarchists.

Of course this would be written by ChatGPT

They can get that data by setting up a federated instance that isn’t threads.net

I just don’t understand why they don’t just make the phone thicker and have a flush camera. Does it really make such a difference?

For real though, only a single update came out yesterday. Has someone checked in on aeharding? Is he ok?

They’re going to hit 100k users in under 24 hours, why on earth would they care about federating with anyone?

Man, I’ve driven a Chevy most my life and it makes me a little sad that I’m going to have to switch for my next car.

It's really good for tech, news, and memes - but anything related to sports or culture is pretty much non-existent. Sure sport news make it through into the NBA community for example, but no one is actually engaging - pretty much feels like an RSS reader in there.

The Star Wars Jedi games do a good job at making money for EA, so this seems logical.

My bad, I forgot how to count

Holy shit, is 33 really “never to old to learn” territory?

What blows my mind is the energy estimate buried in the menus shows a reasonably accurate expected range based on driving behavior and conditions, and instead of using that value at the top level we get some basic kW-> miles conversion that means jack shit.

Hearing they don’t even get a cut of transaction fees really raised my eyebrows.

Between 0% interest rates for Apple products, customers who pay off their entire balance, and customers who just don’t pay their balance at all, there’s thousands of ways for them to straight lose money and only one way to make money (balance carrying users who actually pay their bills)

God I wish there was an actual sports community here, I miss jizzing with all the bros whenever something completely bonkers like this happens

Folks playing around in the simulator - is there a limit to how many apps can be open? Or will I be able to surround myself with a symphony of diverse cat apps?

Luckily topped up just yesterday, phew

Damn, sounds like a pretty high price tag

I wish there was a way links could auto-resolve to the instance I’m logged in with.

Jesus, it’s beautiful

I’m more a fan of having the little box that shows the thumbnails and URLs for all images in the comment
