Mark Zuckerberg launches his Twitter challenger, Threads – 23 funniest comments
Meta has stepped out of the wings to provide a new alternative to Twitter, which has been imploding at various rates since being bought by Elon Musk.
Named Threads, an Instagram App, the platform allows posts of 500 characters and has the usual image-sharing options as well as linking to users’ Instagram accounts.
Musk wasn’t impressed.
Is there an option where users aren’t attacked or pained?
The new option gained more than 10,000,000 users in seven hours, despite not being licensed in the E.U. yet, while they investigate how secure the new app is.

it's great over at #ThreadsApp – they're handing out free margaritas and snacks, ok, sure, you have to have a chip implanted for something called "Uprising Day", but there's no such thing as a free lunch

Would be quite funny for Threads to kill Twitter, then – due to commitments he made in a moment of hubris – Musk gets absolutely clobbered by Zuckerberg in a cage fight

Zuckerberg paying Twitter the extortionate going rate that allows threads users to share their posts directly into Twitter is such a flex.

I’m sorry, but I refuse to join a new social media platform unless they can guarantee that Steve Numbers (“Dad. Chelsea. Anti-woke.”) will pop up from nowhere and tell me to fuck off when I say I like Moeen Ali.
