Yeah. The group making billions in profit every quarter is sure getting their ass kicked. Facebook is dying too, right?
It appears that Meta was aware of Threads before launching its platform of the same name. Company lawyers made four offers to purchase the domain 'threads.app' from Threads Software Ltd from April 2023, all of which were declined. Meta announced Threads in July 2023, the same time that the British company says it was removed from Facebook.
Classic Facebook douchebaggery.
I can make it worse. Let's call it Yarn now. Also, let's downvote my comment. I've ran out of good ideas.
Well everyone, you can reach on lanyards.app @bitwolf
