I’m sure this will go over as big as the whole “Meta Universe” idea.

What is that, wokesters sitting around drinking Bud Light?

Join Gab.com instead. It’s like a combination of Gab and Facebook. It’s honestly the best format for social media. And they even have a Freerepublic group.

“Threads”

A rather fun and cheery movie about nuclear holocaust in the UK. Available free on youtube...

But Musk does suppress free speech, and its not even controversial in nature either. At least I’ve heard others say that to be the case. Now that Musk demands an account, I never go there anymore, whereas I had limited exposure before his latest move.

Yep. I signed up with Twitter a couple years ago, but it was just a combination of raw stupidity and political/social toxicity. Deactivated my account within about a week.

Threads promises heavy censorship and people who value censorship and no contradicting of their harebrained posts will gravitate toward Threads.

Meta is all about data gathering.

Hey, without sites like Meta and TikTok this selfie nation would probably implode and commit mass suicide.

That movie was pure nightmare fuel. Much more harsh than The Day After.

I’m not on FB or Instagram...can’t stand Fuckerberg - especially after the 2020 election fraud he enabled.

That makes two of us.

It’s the liberals’ answer to their prayers to have Twitter back under their control, except it’s not the original Twitter, it’s their attempt to control the argument again, in the form of ‘Threads’, but it should rightfully be called ‘threats; since it’s designed to be the liberals’ opposing platform to Twitter and to ‘free speech’.

Biden can drop his appeal to get that ruling reversed, which forbid the government from controlling free speech in social media sites. Now he and democrats can go back to blocking free speech in their ‘threat’s to free speech.

I saw on Fox this morning that if you want to follow certain folks (conservatives), a prompt will ask you if you’re sure you want to follow that person. That’s BS.

Great! Another way for F-book to mine your private info.

Hard pass.

Zuckerbucks helped to do Trump in. Now is the time for Trump to get back on Twitter and steal the thunder from Threads.

“Friendlier?” Since when are totalitarian censors “friendlier”?

Twitter has been imploding for months, with the downturn accelerating in the last couple weeks.

I have a Twitter account that I haven’t looked at in ages and I won’t be signing on to Facebooks’s version, but this new entrant is just another nail in Twitter’s coffin. Fidelity, which invested in its buy-out, has already marked down its stake by over 50%.
