In addition to everything you and Bill Carter said in the segment, Threads intentionally decided not to operate like old Twitter, news friendly.
So instead of breaking news discussions you get a weird timeline heavy on yesterday or 5 hours ago.
Threads had a huge advantage with the massive Instagram base of follow/followers & the technical resources to ramp up a user base, but Zuckerberg chose not to compete with Musk for the news space.
I think this was bad for the 2024 election, but now that the election is over, good for BlueSky.
Has Zuckerberg chosen to compete with Twitter, and let Threads function more like old Twitter, he likely could have killed Twitter long before the election. The synergy & user base was there, the functionality was not. I see this as Zuck supporting what Musk did.
We are tired of being subject to the whims of billionaires.
This includes your news station. Your station holds some of the responsibility for him being re-elected and we know it was purposeful. They want the ratings his chaos will bring
I can remember the exact day that quiet little Twitter blew up - it was when Anderson Cooper and Ashton Kutcher had a contest to see who could gain the most followers.
I consider to leave X by the End of this Year. Can't stay on a Platform which supports the orange Ape.
The Environment on X getting more and more toxic, really tough to handle.

We are far more than straight, white and christian and when we are not those three things we have to constantly defend ourselves from that.
Hope this place can handle the influx!
So far it has been a constructive, intelligent experience here on Bluesky. Most refreshing.
