I can’t imagine what would make countries like Russia and China think they might someday have to team up against the US.

You’d be surprised how many cops are swingers.

Not really. Only Americans are so dense as to require several months to absorb something like that.

Good. Because they’re not.

“The fact that Threads has joined the space has made it really interesting for other companies,” Prodromou says. “Threads is bringing a really big audience, as well as big names — like @POTUS is on the fediverse … So that makes this process a lot more interesting for other organizations — both for publishers who want to reach those audiences, as well as for existing social networks who want to have those influencers and celebrities available to their users.”

So this is just about piggy-backing on Threads, not any real support for the principles of open software.

I thought Threads was for people who thought Mastodon was too complicated. What’s all this “turn on sharing” mess?

Eh, that doesn’t help when my wife is going apoplectic on me and putting me close to a nervous breakdown.

Sometimes I think I won’t be able to quit until we get divorced.
