    Threads? I completely forgot about Threads because this is the first time I’ve seen news about it since the week it launched. And I doom scroll Lemmy Everything every night.

      I’ve never heard of the expression “doom scroll”! It’s awesome! With your permission, I’ll start using it.

      I also doom scroll Lemmy every night (which is bad, since I should sleep, but good because I stopped going to Reddit)

      It keeps getting bumps in adoption every time Musk does something stupid. So, weekly or so.

      Honestly it’s kind of a chill service. If it wasn’t controlled by Meta, I’d be more active there. As it is, Mastodon is my jam.

    Not to overly focus on aesthetics, but maybe Zuckerberg could take a few minutes away from his daily groping of paid-friends, and instead work with an acting coach to develop a look for photos that isn’t best described as Robot Rictus.

    Bluesky is literally just old Twitter but better. Why do people insist on hurting themselves with Threads?

    Edit: for those more technically inclined, it looks like there are now instructions on how to host your own Bluesky instance. It sounds like you may need a developer account before you can federate with the official instance though.

      I’ll never understand why people are so excited for something that is proprietary and invite-only…

      Oh yeah, they’re idiots. I suspect bluesky is paying for a lot of viral marketing.

        Nah, it’s because it’s less of a headache than Mastodon (everyone I’ve talked to likes the idea, but hates the implementation because they find it hard to navigate) and it’s not a mess like Threads or Twitter. What people want is 2015 Twitter because they’re not nerds. They want it to just work.

        As for the invite-only thing, I found it odd at first, but I kinda understand why people like it now. It makes it harder for assholes to join and if they do manage to get an invite, they’ll have to get another one after their account gets banned for bigotry or being a shithead.

          The problem is its centralized nature. As a business, it’s going to do what businesses do and get people hooked, then slowly enshittify their products/services until a competitor takes over.
