[Insert Stallman GNU/Linux copypasta]

Wouldn’t the .arpa TLD be the first? It existed before the Internet was even the Internet.

The single byte version of a stringwoman.

Like this? Unrelated but similar in concept.

I love teslerr

That’s some fine jussy

That’s one tentacle every 7.5 seconds!

This is in contrast to it’s arch-nemesis agency, the Defamation League (DL). When those two organizations collide, it results in a catastrophic explosion like matter-antimatter.

Thanks added!

Threads is weird, maybe because I’m not used to the Twitter-like format. Posting is fast like Lemmy (not surprising since it shares the Fediverse infrastructure). Replies are harder to read since it’s one level nested. There’s no downvotes.

Anyone can choose to tag any post or comment as any topic, like Twitter but hashtags don’t appear to be needed. Images and gifs are well supported by default, but it doesn’t support alt-text for accessibility.

The default feed is heavily bot-laden worth thirst-traps and AI women. You need to find actual people and follow them for recommendations for other real people to start to show up in the default feed which is a bit annoying. You end up with a social circle like in Facebook but they are complete strangers unless you accept recommendations from any Instagram contacts you know in real life. You need to turn off linking between Threads and Instagram (on both applications) if you want to keep them separate, it’s opt-out.

Political discussions are toxic; this is unsurprising. Lots of MAGA trash, but not Nazi-laden like X (formerly Twitter). Arguments with them are unfruitful.

The meme game is incredibly weak compared to here (thanks PugJesus, The_Picard_Maneuver, cm0002, Stamets, LadyButterfly, Track_Shovel, etc.). Lemmy has an incredible amount of fantastic memes for it’s size.

There are of course ads but they aren’t as obnoxious as Facebook ads. No doubt Meta is data mining the hell out of your content.

Since there’s millions of people (if they aren’t conflating with Instagram users) it’s incredibly active. That part is nice but you also get the stupidity and ignorance from Facebook-like users; this is where curating your follows is important.

Still, investors are shaking off the report, bidding the stock up 5.6% in premarket

How the hell is it rising on this news. This stock is super manipulated.

With that many people, do you all share resources? I’d imagine a six person polycule would be much easier financially if everyone (or at least four of you) have jobs. I’m having a hard time making ends meet with two, and I would imagine the added stability of six would drive down the cost of living. Would be a lot easier to own a large house.

When your walk speed is too slow but your run speed is too fast.

Those memes were from a happier time before we ended up on this hellish timeline.

Slow to fast, but what about Ramming Speed™?

Chuck Schumer waking anybody up is unusual. Especially when he lowers the eyeglasses on his brow when talking.

I would have told them to bring back Clippy 📎 as an AI companion, but inappropriately erotic. 👠

Free Speech Absolutist, everyone.

Another right wing shooter? But social media commenters all say he’s a dangerous Democrat! (I’ve seen it on Facebook, Threads, Bluesky)
