I think it's still not available in the EU. Not that I'd download it if it were available.

[–] henfredemars 47 points 2 years ago

Honestly forgot it was a thing. I figured that it had disappeared by now.

Haven't thought about threads for weeks... Forgot it was a thing.

Sad that the UFC fight between him and Elon Musk won't happen.

He does have a lot of experience in BJJ, so good for Elon, hahahahah

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but Elon had a secret plan. Once he got in the ring he was going to purchase it, then fire everyone inside it.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 6 points 2 years ago

Would not doubt that from happening, hahahaha

Under appreciated, because what else could it be

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For real tho. What is Threads?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Elivey@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a bad time.

[–] windtorn@beehaw.org 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The company formerly known as Facebook launched a Twitter competitor called Threads a couple months ago

Launched an X formerly known as Twitter replacement

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks!! I didn't want to search for it to give them any link juice.

Is this a real image or ai generated?

[–] unconsciousvoidling@lemmy.world 49 points 2 years ago

Zuckerberg was artificially created so it hardly matters.

[–] Jonas_Jones@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

me who is constantly prompted to download it and even if I wanted couldn't, since I live in Europe ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It's a really good film from 1984 about nuclear war

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 years ago

Shall we play a game?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 10 points 2 years ago

Don't forget kids, every time a Lemmy instance federates with Threads it makes Mr Zuckerburg cum.

Fucking Francis Dolarhyde creeping around again.

[–] UserNotFound@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Threads is still banned in EU, right? Not that I'm interested in it.

[–] junfel@campfyre.nickwebster.dev 4 points 2 years ago

He is an AI.

[–] bighatchester@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just looked to see what was happening with threads and they like 80% of its users .

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They clearly came to market too early. Trying to time the death of twitter. The 5-10 minutes I spent on that shit was enough to see how broken it was and how many features were missing. You can't come to market with a broken product in a space that requires exponential growth and the network effect to achieve success.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Zuckerberg had the same problem with his metaverse idea.

Although, to be fair, I don't know if there really is a way to make that idea successful. Like flying cars, 3D interfaces are cool in sci-fi but impractical in real life

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think VR will eventually find a home in games and video conferencing. BUT it will have to be ridiculously good before people are willing to put on a helmet for it

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

No I did not, Mark.

[–] StalksEveryone@futurology.today 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yes dude, we already downloaded it stop asking us if we downloaded it. i’ll get started on it, eventually.

just tell em what they want to believe.

Because it's a good movie?

[–] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So far it I've been digging it. There's a pretty steady pilgrimage from X to threads. Loads of people try to keep it from turning into "X" and that always shows up in the feed. So it is pretty reassuring like that. And reminders to start blocking or muting people now to keep a positive vibe going and your own sanity. It's been kinda nice like that.

And I've only managed to piss off one person and that was by total mistake. We cool now.

Edit: that was a shitty response i left. Long day and I shouldn't be on the internet.

But none the less, who fucking knew.

[–] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Enjoy supporting those who have no moral qualms with facilitating genocide. Because after all, you're super smart and therefore it goes without saying that you absolutely require something like Twitter in your life.

I still hope for federation of Threads. I just wanna be on my own non-Facebook server, but be able to communicate with that domain. Like with email.
