I think it's still not available in the EU. Not that I'd download it if it were available.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 46 points 1 year ago

Honestly forgot it was a thing. I figured that it had disappeared by now.

Haven't thought about threads for weeks... Forgot it was a thing.

Sad that the UFC fight between him and Elon Musk won't happen.

He does have a lot of experience in BJJ, so good for Elon, hahahahah

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but Elon had a secret plan. Once he got in the ring he was going to purchase it, then fire everyone inside it.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 6 points 1 year ago

Would not doubt that from happening, hahahaha

Under appreciated, because what else could it be

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For real tho. What is Threads?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Elivey@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a bad time.

[–] windtorn@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The company formerly known as Facebook launched a Twitter competitor called Threads a couple months ago

Launched an X formerly known as Twitter replacement

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks!! I didn't want to search for it to give them any link juice.

[–] Jonas_Jones@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

me who is constantly prompted to download it and even if I wanted couldn't, since I live in Europe ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Don't forget kids, every time a Lemmy instance federates with Threads it makes Mr Zuckerburg cum.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this a real image or ai generated?

[–] unconsciousvoidling@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

Zuckerberg was artificially created so it hardly matters.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How bad must his long hair be that he chooses that hairstyle?

[–] Prunebutt@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've read that this nerd is very into ancient rome.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Oh really? That's a creepy trail I'm disinclined to look into.

Can't stop myself. Of course he idolizes Caesar, the ultimate end justifies the means character.

Not the same path you're taking, mark.

It's like Ben Shapiro watching a Chomsky lecture and thinking "this guy talks words. I talk words too! We're basically the same."

Oh is his tiny haircut an attempt to make his tiny head look bigger?

New layers.

It's a really good film from 1984 about nuclear war

Fucking Francis Dolarhyde creeping around again.

[–] UserNotFound@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Threads is still banned in EU, right? Not that I'm interested in it.

He is an AI.

[–] bighatchester@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just looked to see what was happening with threads and they like 80% of its users .

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They clearly came to market too early. Trying to time the death of twitter. The 5-10 minutes I spent on that shit was enough to see how broken it was and how many features were missing. You can't come to market with a broken product in a space that requires exponential growth and the network effect to achieve success.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zuckerberg had the same problem with his metaverse idea.

Although, to be fair, I don't know if there really is a way to make that idea successful. Like flying cars, 3D interfaces are cool in sci-fi but impractical in real life

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think VR will eventually find a home in games and video conferencing. BUT it will have to be ridiculously good before people are willing to put on a helmet for it

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No I did not, Mark.

twitter post right below this one

So far it I've been digging it. There's a pretty steady pilgrimage from X to threads. Loads of people try to keep it from turning into "X" and that always shows up in the feed. So it is pretty reassuring like that. And reminders to start blocking or muting people now to keep a positive vibe going and your own sanity. It's been kinda nice like that.

And I've only managed to piss off one person and that was by total mistake. We cool now.

Edit: that was a shitty response i left. Long day and I shouldn't be on the internet.

But none the less, who fucking knew.

I still hope for federation of Threads. I just wanna be on my own non-Facebook server, but be able to communicate with that domain. Like with email.
