no, its not better. i cant believe how many idiots are falling for this
Less featureful, terrible violation of privacy, no way to easily delete just threads, gives a known bad actor a strong foothold...
What could go wrong?
But it makes musk mad
Given that I've been going in an autoresponder loop trying to get some of my copyrighted stuff removed from spam accounts, Musk can suck 1000 tusks. Ah well, at least their failure to abide by the DMCA might be a fun little diversion.
and then if you suggest they try mastodon they won't even consider it
eeeh
Even attributing the most evil intentions to Musk & Zuck (not hard to imagine), the Zuck still has some incentive in not completely shitting all over the EU and the GDPR, as well as this year's new laws regulating large social media platforms.
Whereas Musk seems to just... not care. I don't think he expects Twitter to survive until the lawsuits go through and is just radicalizing as many people as possible.
Meta was already sued for GDPR violations so they probably don't want to do it again.
I'm not going to open a Threads account, but people that I follow on mastodon are saying that Threads is protecting hate groups like libs of tik tok, and moms for liberty by auto-closing reports against those accounts within 2-3 minutes of them being reported.
