There is most definitely a circus, but absolutely no fun to be found here.

They’re not forcing you to be on the official mobile app? That’s nice of them :).

Oh, and an interesting follow on, if someone runs a technology consultancy, can they post about their business successes and issues? They’re in the tech business after all. Or is this simply limited to the who’s who of bad actors? The big, 3 4, 10, 15? What is the cut off?

You mean like non-reactionary content? Stuff that teaches us, and we learn, and we feel hope? Quality rather than hyperbole.

It’s not just an inconvenience. I unfollowed the sub because the quality of the content was poor. I want to learn about technology, not social media companies and every minutiae about their employees bowel movements. I’m getting more value from Linux than from here, despite the fact some of it is more low level than I’d like.

Has anyone proven a technology for that long and that consistently that it is safe. I’ve seen quite the contrary and sensible legislators expect a human there in case of issue.I’d expect that for years before a reasonable level ofconfidentce is reached.

I would agree with this. Purpose of the application rather than technical implementation defines its use. Though it can do many things Signal and WA also do

Lemm ee c boobies perhaps?

Be the change you want to see.

You thought they were the leaders. They’re the followers, staying near the crowd.

Building communities is hard and takes time.

I wonder if this came from engineering or the marketing department.

I’m getting “Let’s do this, and if it fails (which it will), it’ll look like we’re really confident in our self-drive and are a challenger in the market” vibes.

Even if you have excellent self-drive, there is no logical reason not to have a backup steering wheel just to intervene in case. Tbh, I had no idea they were even in the self-drive market which may be their true problem. No one really knows.

It isn’t the people. It’s just if I already decided not to use Facebook or twitter. Why would I get back into bed with the devil on an experimental product?

It cannot hurt. It was shite when I used it.

I don’t want to interact with anyone on Threads. It is new and it is Facebook.

Checkmate!

Open source alternatives are a threat. They cannot control information there. I bet all of them are blacklisted.
