Literally all that Meta do (since they were just Facebook) is blatantly copy every single other app or site that becomes popular. It's getting beyond ridiculous

That being said... I so badly want to ese Elon fail and get taken down a notch. But also Meta... Two conflicting desires...

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

About time a big competitor steps in, Not a fan of Meta at all but I'll take them over Musk any day.

Not sure if want. Maybe so. I still owned Insta in the end, so I would say no to FB stuffs, except FB itself.

Ever since the 2016 election I've decided the better evil is the hidden one. We knew people were racist, xenophobic, etc but at least it was a secret and we didn't have as much public policy affecting minorities. Showing the world that they can get away with sh!tty behavior is what's led us down a pretty dark place. Meta is trash, but at least they try to be perceived well. Twitter and Musk aren't concerned with that.

Another social medium owned by the same company? No, thank you.

battle of two evils 

Pro, no elon:tony:

Some pictures of it leaked, it's rumored name is threads and is going to be using activitypub which from what little I understand seems like a good thing? :poot:

So basically Instagram, but without photos, and presumably still using the god-awful search engine :enigma:

Apparently it's standalone but will allow you to "transfer information and followers from Instagram", I don't know if that means photos or not. :shrug:

What intrigues me most is the fact that it's using Acitivitypub meaning it could allow you to cross post and interact across other social medias that also use it instead of it all being seperated.

I prefer the known evil because they are what they present as and you can prepare for that. Hidden evil is insidious and gives you a false friend. 

Twitter/Musk tells you its going to stab you, then stabs you in the chest.

Meta tells you its your best friend, then stabs you in the back.
