Elon Musk reaches deal to buy Twitter for $44B - Bluesky crosses the 25 million user mark

[totto]

Everything is fuckery with these people. It's always something. It's just best to find out the best way to leverage these platforms to get paid and leave it at that.

basically tied to you instagram and possibly facebook, I think threads is more of news and serious discussions rather than trolling, I think Twitter is too much trolling.

With this being tied to instagram we have to watch what we post on there so it will create a sense of "what if" before we hit send.

It's actually pretty smart by Zuck, it literally kills porn stuff and Rated R stuff and makes it more suitable for big companies and people with news to report.

Twitter has to figure something out, also twitter recommends alot of right wing crap when you don't even follow it, I follow mostly NBA and Boxing and some right wing racist pops up "recommended" by someone else I'm not following to blame migrants and 3rd world people imao.

Instagram ceo says they are working on ways to separate thread and instagram accounts

Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) on Threads

I've been getting some questions about deleting your account. To clarify, you can deactivate your Threads account, which hides your Threads profile and content, you can set your profile to private, and you can delete individual threads posts – all without deleting your Instagram account.

I've been getting some questions about deleting your account. To clarify, you can deactivate your Threads account, which hides your Threads profile and content, you can set your profile to private, and you can delete individual threads posts – all without deleting your Instagram account. Threads is powered by Instagram, so right now it's just one account, but we're looking into a way to delete your Threads account separately.

This would get me to use it.

Agreed but there is a lot of cleanup needed for the feed to make that a reality. The fact that the feed isn't in chronological order is a huge issue that will negate these aspirations until they get corrected.

 

[ugk]

70 million.. jesus christ

 

[Walter Panov]

They're at 70 million signups now

mosseri
I joined Meta, then Facebook, 15 years ago today. We were four years old, had ~450 employees, had just translated the site, and had ~70M people.
Today we hit that many signups on Threads. Now signups and retained users are different, and we built Threads on top of an amazing foundation provided by Instagram and by Meta, but there is something elegant about that symmetry.
Thank you to the team that actually built this app, thank you to the company and @zuck for trusting me all these years,

Huge and that's a problem but if they can figure it out it will be a big hit...

Basically a RSS feed in modern times and that'a dream for alot of people, open threads and all the big news is there, combined with celebrities and discussing certain topics.

Also if Mark can hide his WS views and leave that crap outside of threads it's a hit, that conservative nonsense kills money.

Yep. Once they clean up the feed issues, I can see this being the goto for news based accounts. Then we might see 3rd party browser based options like Tweetdeck come into play to further increase the visibility of the feeds. That's what I believe made Twitter and Tweetdeck so convenient. You could have a multiple feed lists available to view in a browser via columns.

Again, I am not a fan of Mark Zuckerberg but at least he has better control over the continent than what is currently Twitter right now. I know the right wing is having a fit right now because they can’t do what they want to do on this new platform.

Yeah it's smart. Get his data mining down even better. While fools playing politics and letting these rich cacs play with their emotions, these cats playing another game altogether.

Folks worried so much about their little political feelings being offended they forget Zuck in this to make bank and have control. He gives a fuck about whether or not they get a new and improved echo chamber.

As far as people reporting news, let's see how much censorship is going on as this continues. It's clear a lot of humans have a problem with reality and hearing things that don't fit their worldview.

People want to feel comfortable unfortunately and they don't care about much else. Zuck is pure evil but I will give him credit that he doesn't display it openly, he's not gonna mess up his bread unlike Elon who doesnt care how much money he loses. Zuck sees a opportunity with Elons brash bahavior and public outrage at what he's done but threads ain't no better, maybe a little more PG friendly since it's tied to IG

And humans will have a problem with reality, the reason the dollar loses value and Americans live doesn't get any worse, inflatation and these GOP cacs wanna kill someone to get the bread up, just life unfortunately.

bullshit, its would be impressive if a D Money, or Joe Schmo came up with an app to do these numbers..

for Meta to do these numbers is fuckin EXPECTED.....

Now whats going to be interesting is to see, what elon forces his crew to come up with to challenge

their new found competition...

seems like they, they being Team Elon are going with the lawsuit first.....lawyers on both

sides about to be paid...them billable hours are going to be through the roof

Man, I'm just sitting back and watching. Imagine being emotionally involved in this because of politics. Fucking politics. Not that Elon fucked up your money, or Zuck fucked up your bread. Fucking politics.

thats the average joe schmo reality tv watching, media consumer.. trust me,

there are more than a few of us on this site, thats looking at his like....

cant wait to see who has the stronger case, so they know what company to short the fuck

out of.... Meta stock went up a lot recently... if they lose this case, that shit will drop back down with the

quickness....and if they win, then they will own the internet along with google because they are eating

up the competition...and the stock will easily go up to a thousand dollars a share in less than five years..

but this case against Elon is going to be the tell tale of where you can throw your money...

This is really a battle of the two law firms representing them, whoever comes out winning will be sitting

pretty for a long time..

what folks dont really understand, is how fuckin dirty this shit can get behind the scenes...

the decisions being made inside them board rooms...and how they really get down, will shock

most people.

Fuck the dumb shit, I'd love for Zuck to come out on some pro-free speech shit and watch heads explode. All of a sudden, folks pushing for a threads alternative and running to hand over more of their data to show they are on the cool side.

But on the real side, it don't take much to get on the bad side of certain folks. Just disagree on one thing and the shitshow starts. Just sit back and enjoy and figure out how to use the tools for profit.

You use social media for enjoyment. And if you're not enjoying the experience you go somewhere that has a more enjoyable experience.

Check this out. A lot of people don't want to be bombarded by anti vax, conspiracy theories all day and don't want to argue about that shit. Musk is basically forcing you to be carpet bombed by that shit to use Twitter. And constant white nationalism in the guise of "free speech"

Fuck that shit.

He has his customer based. They're just mad they're losing their captive audience. Let them spew that bullshit to each other.

But as we all know, they don't want that.

Spoutible had a chance but the fact that 90% of what is discussed over there is politics makes it dry as hell.

too late for facebook, they already got busted being whores for the feds and democratic party,

twitter was too and thats why you boy Elon took it over to expose all the fuckery and he did....

it almost cost him the farm, because shortly after buying twiiter all of a sudden, space x had a crash,

his brain project was about to get shut down, tesla stock went to shit, all because he was fuckin

with their plans of using twitter to control mass thought.... He fixed that shit with the quickness

and hired that world economic forum ho to run Twitter, and that pushed the demon dogs back a little

bit.. as long as that world economic forum bitch is running twitter, it wont be the true freedom

of speech platform it can be, but this New Meta project is definitely not to be trusted.. Zuck

has no emotions he will say and do anything, just to come out on top.. and they already have

everyones data.... they are working on controling everyones thoughts... You heard about the new apple ear bud technology right....yea Stealing everyones data is OLD news bruh,

they want your thoughs...
I feel like we’re at an inflection point. [A lot of] consumer devices are hitting the market this year, and in the next two years. There have been huge advances in AI that allows us to decode brain activity, and in the miniaturization of electrodes, which [allows manufacturers] to put them into earbuds and headphones. And there has been significant investment from big tech companies. It is, I believe, about to become ubiquitous.

The only person who has access to your brain data right now is you, and it is only analyzed in the internal software of your mind. But once you put a device on your head … you’re immediately sharing that data with whoever the device manufacturer is, and whoever is offering the platform. It could also be shared with any government or employer that might have given you the device.

Tech that aims to read your mind and probe your memories is already here

No doubt. I agree with folks wanting an enjoyable experience. But let's cut the bullshit. This is the BGOL barbershop. No need for it.

Those purple haired freaks were on Elon's ass way before anything even happened. He was J.K. Rowling'd just by deviating from the narrative(then went full troll). So let's not pretend this is all about people being bombarded by anti-vax, conspiracy theories all day. Because it's seems to be all sunshine and unicorns when the misinformation is coming from the leftist authoritarianism types.

Pretending this is about algos and filters and not emotional ass weirdos is being dishonest. If they don't control all talking points, they come for fucking blood. Remember, J.K. is more left than probably anyone on BGOL and she is called a nazi and they want her dead. She strayed on one talking point.

Elon is a troll and grifter, so we know he really got them hot.

It's happening with the States in real time. I read an article the other day about how CACs are moving to states just to beat "woke Policies" or where their "values align with other like minded people" (i.e. Conservative, right wing echo chambers with no immigration and minorities). So they are moving to places like Florida and Texas where they can create racist friendly enclaves.

Conservatives move to red states and liberals move to blue.

Americans are segregating themselves by their politics at a rapid clip, helping fuel the greatest divide between the states in modern history.
