I can't imagine why the people whose identity is wrapped up in being a popular Twitter poster, who have no issues continuing to lean into that despite the rampant Nazis, transphobes, etc..., would feel the need to discourage people from checking out an alternative

PARTY ALL NIGHT

EAT BRAINS ALL DAY


I'm at the point now where I open Twitter once a day, hate everything I see, block some ads/blue ticks and log off.

All my artist friends are feeling the pain as the userbase dries up and it really sucks.

I agree. They brought Baja Blast back to stores. It's a good time in the soda world and I'm glad threads has discourse about what Americans really care about. Corn syrup.

I love that someone’s job at Meta was to get dril. Like, there was a whole customer acquisition doc and his name was probably top of that list.

Yeah I mean, at this point I just want Twitter to die. Even if it means Zuck is the one to do it.

The only thing that will keep Twitter alive are the Elon simps, racist idiots, and porn related things.

Isn't Tumblr back to allowing porn though? That would be a good place for artists who get paid drawing lewd stuff

He could still argue that Meta bribed people into breaking NDAs, but he has no evidence of that because it's not like building something like twitter requires some kind of special sauce.

Sounds like they should have made it like 3-6 months of no ads and downranking brand accounts to soak up initial users without deterring them with commercial spam before boiling that frog, but it's Meta so they probably forgot what it's like to not be in the maximum extraction phase.

Also if Spiro files that suit in CA, he'll have to identify the Twitter Trade Secrets "with sufficient particularity to limit the permissible scope of discovery by distinguishing the trade secrets from matters of general knowledge in the trade or of
special knowledge of those persons ... skilled in the trade", so good luck with that.

That was Succession. Wouldn't surprise me if Elmo watched that show and furiously took notes, thinking everyone depicted were meant to be genius titans of the industry.

The Sopranos also did this bit. Tony met with all the best divorce lawyers so they’d have to conflict out of representing his wife.

I am not cheering for Zuck. I made a Threads account because I want these two sacks of garbage to slap fight each other into an early grave.




I want to believe that even if Twitter dies, Threads will never really succeed after it.
