  1. Yet NoLabels is making serious progress in getting on ballots and will likely post a “compelling” ticket for those not excited about Biden. It’s a legit concern imo
  2. This is not good. It does, though, underscore why the fediverse will win out long term. Soon you’ll be able to take your account (and follows) to an alternate service on the fediverse where moderation and algorithms (if any) are more to your liking.
  3. Create an alt (but connected) IG account in IG, then use the alt for threads
  4. Anal porn or unboxing Pokémon cards? Ah, so anal porn, then
  5. Find someone with similar interests as you and click their followers count. Then click into their Following tab. Now you can quickly scan their list to add to your own
  6. And we’re told she’s the political brains on the team
  7. Totally, but discovery can be a bitch even if the initial claim is spurious. All it takes is one of those former Twitter employees with a poorly worded or even sarcastic/joke internal email saying “we did it like this over at Twitter” for everything to go sideways
  8. It’s just teeing up discovery I’d guess the IP they are concerned about is algorithms and scaling,the two obvious places other competitors struggled
  9. As with email, where we can all be on different providers and still communicate together, Threads integrating into the fediverse (where Mastadon already is) would allow them to work together. I could post on Mastadon and you could follow my Mastadon account on Threads and see that post. It’s the way this should have worked all along, but is not intuitive enough for general consumers at low scale. With someone like Meta pushing it forward it will finally be more easily embraced
  10. Mr Beast would like to bribe you for a follow https://www.threads.net/t/CuXrpemRV3m/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
  11. Same on job and rental apps
  12. If Threads connects to the fediverse it could actually help Mastadon. Being untethered to a specific provider is the way. It’s highly ironic that it takes Meta to help it scale into viability
  13. Yep, and they fear META investing in solving that problem via scraping. The demand for it is at an all time high, for sure
  14. My guess is they’re preempting attempts by meta to enable importing follow lists. Software companies always look for “stickiness” to make transitioning to competitors difficult, and this is theirs
  15. Sounds like an aggressive but reasonable goal. I was in a very similar place (47, 260#) and calorie counting on LoseIt has worked very well for me. Personally I’ve not seen any added value in fasting for me. Sticking to my calorie budget is already sufficiently challenging that I’d be concerned about burning out by adding additional barriers.
  16. To be clear, that controls what notifications you get, not what content appears on Home tab
  17. I read somewhere Meta or Insta previously had an app called Threads that they killed. Probably still had naming rights secured from that project
  18. Head of Insta and presumably Threads https://www.threads.net/@mosseri?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
