Twitter C/D

You will never find that kind of comedy on another site, except maybe Something Awful in its prime.

I don’t understand half of what that guy is saying but I know he’s sad about his stupid cartoons that were supposed to change the world and make him a billionaire.

if I was a kid in the 90s and some stranger from 2023 entered my home via time machine portal and left a printout of this tweet on my desk, my imagination about what 2023 would be like would be pretty fucked up.

hell fuck the 90s, if you showed me a printout of this tweet in *2005*

“You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you!”

every time one of his tweets gets posted here i say to myself that cannot possibly be real

and no matter how asinine 38k+ simping losers have liked it

I'm extending a part of my hand

so many OG apes I’ve grown w/ since mint are getting their apes liquidated via loan protocols.

I don't remember this part in Neuromancer.

it’s from Pynchon iirc

hold my vape as they liq my ape

I joined Threads, my feed is 100% people I don't follow, so pretty much useless for now.

so many OG apes I’ve grown w/ since mint are getting their apes liquidated via loan protocols, starving hysterical naked

looking for an angry ForEX

is it funnier that we don't have a BlueSky thread or should I start one?

🖼

I've been able to find a few of the people I follow on Twitter on Threads, and now my feed is mostly the people I have followed. On Bluesky I'm not able to find anyone because I'm on a wait list.

How many apes must a man have liquidated via loan protocols
Before you call him a man?

Bananaman Begins wins this one for me, A+

Remove Bookmark from This Threads

i think it's time to abandon social media

i'm going back to ICQ

I'll happily accept a Bluesky invitation now that they're the old new thing now

hmm I do still remember my six digit ICQ account number

Bluesky was so next week

the only way social media will work anymore is if you're required to change your username and avatar for each post

RIP Twitter

Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Thread, @maxwelltani reports (also he's on Thread, same handle) https://t.co/IVVZsCwyrf pic.twitter.com/89rZPTU9it

he's saying that zuck has been reading ("scraping") my good tweets

Spiro accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information.”

lol maybe dont fire everyone

got something for u to scrape, Elon

lmao what trade secrets would they need? this is the Instagram comments section.

also pre musk employees are not subject to NDA.

they hold the ancient knowledge of how to craft a microblog post

He really did set 44bn on fire. Parag the greatest CEO of all time for shareholders.

"Quit poaching the employees that I said were completely useless "

This is something I enjoyed reading, correctly focussing on the point where "you're talking to the world" became the thing. "Everyone is a columnist" was a mistake.

Also the fact that Threads doesn't have a website is a bit of a dealbreaker for me.

poaching 'former' twitter employees.... that would be unemployed engineers looking for work, no poaching

kind of like Ronaldo celebrating a goal he didn't actually score

do non-compete clauses carry any weight in this case?

not that this isn't just mini-Facebook or text-instagram, is not like they weren't already doing similar things at scale

Every time I think I’m out they pull me back in

Children conceived when the mother didn't have a climax, are not ensouled btw. When it dies, its spirit neither goes to heaven or hell, it is just destroyed, like that of animals.

damn did not know that

time to ask my parents some uncomfortable questions

Ron DeSantis makes more sense now

LOL mh

so you can only search for accounts, not content? hmm

i wanted to see what people were saying about wimbledon on threads but i couldn’t really

threads thing is very dumb, everyone knows you start with a linear timeline then rug pull to a sponcon heavy "algorithmic" timeline once your users are locked in. impressive that zuck managed to fuck even this up

weird that we think he’s in charge of product design and not just trusting an upper executive level who trusts a product manager level and whatever

like either he’s completely engaged in the groupthink that decided their recent ventures are good (unlikely) or he’s just going hmm yeah looks good
