Competition is good! It’s been a while since Meta has had a competitor it couldn’t buy or copy (Threads can feature-match around the edges, but the big apps can’t decentralize in any real way)

Sort of comical for Zuck to be like “I can’t wait to see what happens” when they have plenty of data from the days when FB used to be chronological.

Can't? Or wouldn't because of their conflicting business incentives?

isn’t threads decentralized because it’s on activitypub?

They would also flip back to the old way in a second if this site were to ever fizzle out for any reason in the future. So, not worth trusting the changes.

Wonder if the test will fail because the people who want the feature generally don’t want to be on meta platforms if there are viable alternatives. Got off IG two years ago and while I miss community and friends I do not miss being advertised too 24/7 and being manipulated to use the apps more.

They killed all engagement for ad revenues, if Bluesky can manage to hold on with the high volume I doubt people will ever go to Threads.

But refuse to support the iPad. The reasons why Twitter/X is my preferred platform still is because they 1) aren’t petty with Apple angst, 2) have an iPad App, and 3) allow the iPad app to work on macOS.

Not very much. The echo is strong.
