We could both be right.

Zuck in a billionaire pissing contest decided to grab staff that Elon fired and build a competitor given Twitter never really reached the levels it should have (with zaps it would have, the irony!) as he said.

But it’s niche is disaffected Twitter Users - text heavy, opinionated, political/news; not ethots showing their arses in filtered photos which is his built-in userbase.

The only ones who will stick to the censorious Threads™️ will form a woke echo chamber. That cohort isn’t big enough to run a fiat platform.

Zuck will probably open arms accept the State to come in and help control the narrative for money. Of course all the brand advertising that rejects Elon politically will go there too but the userbase will pale in comparison. It will need State support to survive but it might be worth it for the government having left and right split into echo chambers for this content type so they can better calibrate what messaging works on each for control?

What? 😅

I sometimes feel exactly the same feeling. So much spam and so much no good content. But I think we have to wait and trust this project! #nostr

didn't try Bluesky. didn't try Threads. Always on #nostr .

Everything lol. The idea that people should just abandon their ancestral homeland and illegally immigrate to a country that hates them. The idea that White illegal immigrants wouldnt end up as sex slaves or worse. The idea that it's somehow morally better to turn and run abd shit up another country than try and stay in your homeland. The complete lack of empathy for people who are suffering. The audacity as an american who (like everyone who's taxes go to the american government) is responsible for starting the war to look down on someone for not wanting to just abandon their home when you continue to support a the nation responsible for these conflicts for the exact same reason.

this lex fridman interview was great. i wish i'd heard George Hotz speak before this. was insightful and how he gutted the stupid ai fearmongering was lovely.

You are dumb enough to shit on their victims though.

That says more about your character than theirs tbh.

It's called being too poor to move...
