  1. What if someone just posted the url to the tweet and pasted the text, as is often done here? Or if they screen cap and past the image, also done frequently? What has been accomplished?
  2. Really? It looks pretty boilerplate to me
  3. So in your preferred universe, how does this go down exactly? We talk about Twitter, but never share content from it even if germane to the conversation? Can we link to other websites? Can we quote todays newspaper or repeat what we heard on the radio? Does this site even exist, or do we just discuss current events at the local Wednesday night service over potluck dinner?
  4. Really liking the sports multi view on YTTV
  5. By reducing awareness? That’s a shitty plan.
  6. As best I can tell, it is in chronological order by the post date OR by the repost/comment date by someone you follow
  7. - Michael Scott
  8. Bah, I did the time zone differential backwards. Delete post, ban user
  9. Which is especially funny because the typical golf fan is the last person who would find this remotely entertaining
  10. Yeah, same. I’m not really following what he’s trying to accomplish here. Is there going to be some effort to restrict their posts? Or just exempt them from amplification? I guess we’ll all learn together when one of them points out specifically how this is impacting them
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. Create an alt (but connected) IG account in IG, then use the alt for threads
  14. Anal porn or unboxing Pokémon cards? Ah, so anal porn, then
  15. 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
  16. And we’re told she’s the political brains on the team
  17. In my depositions it was.
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
