When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.
So does Threads not have a way for you to browse your feed on your PC ala Chrome etc?

If it's just a mobile app, holy poo poo that's rushed.

how do you change how a name works

you used to be able to pick any name, even if it wasn’t unique, and the service would append a 4-digit number to it in the background for purposes of uniqueness, like sending dms or whatever. now you have to make the name itself unique

Imo, Bluesky can work just like 2019 Twitter but the fact that it’s been invite only is what’s going to kill it.

Threads is clearly undercooked but it works just enough like Twitter and anyone can sign up easily

they're trying to be like Facebook was originally where the perception of selectivity made it popular over myspace, maybe it will work but it also seems like copying the method may be completely independent creating the secret sauce

Google can't even not suck, how can I get to five loving ads talking about a service before I have to scroll down half the page to see what I was actually looking for?

Oh hey, an actually good idea (new hearts/organs is something people want) that Musk 100 percent can ruin by simply not following any of the established patterns for developing artificial organs so the new hearts can explode/combust.

Like, the guy is already killing apes trying to make a link between brains and the Internet, and failing to compete with regular railroads. Who besides his dumbest fans would ever want to use a Tesla heart?

I have a feeling Threads was rushed out to take advantage of the rate limit fiasco. It sucks right now, but we'll see in a few months

The next six months will be critical.

the cat is too out of the bag for any of this to work anymore. the whole system depends on a bait-and-switch model where VC money props up a functional social media site just long enough to build a userbase before turning on them and ruining the experience. but we've been through that routine multiple times now, and poo poo like Threads only looks so bad because they skipped the bait part and went straight for switch because they don't want to play that whole game again.

Threads probably isn't that much worse than Twitter. People just have good memories on Twitter and want it to be good again, but this is the endpoint of all of these things.
