I did it, Jax is correct - Apple only so far it looks like. Screenshot: -- (pic) -- (link*) - Andie Jul 5, 08:10 [Attachment] 2
- There was a copy of the binary that leaked on android, so it's not far off. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 08:19 1
  - And the analyzers report ... it'll have ads. Of course. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 08:45
Threads reminds me of the horrific nuclear fallout drama that traumatised a nation. -- (link) - LMS Jul 5, 08:02
I think bluesky might actually move the needle on breaking down twitter. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 5, 07:52 14
- clarifying --> I think twiter is moving the needle on breaking down twitter. I think bluesky might move the needle on getting people to leave. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 5, 07:53 13
  - The most pressing need is a "space" for verified company brands to go now, IMO. Treads can be that. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 5, 08:13 2
    - ... they can literally own their own mastodon servers if they want. Can't get more verified than that. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 08:53 1
      - Right, but no one seems to be willing to do that, so maybe a centralized server on the decentralized network. -- (edited) - JaxSean Jul 5, 08:56
  - Mastodon isn't doing too shabby. "Mastodon currently has around 12 to 13 million users across the decentralized social network" -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 5, 08:03 2
    - And because it's not a VC-backed or megacorp-backed hypergrowthery, it doesn't matter if it keeps growing month over month or increasing ARR. - Beryllium Jul 5, 08:13 1
      - I mean, who hasn’t said that inner message a few times? -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 08:13
  - I'm not sure as it's still invite only and while people are looking for somewhere to go right now they're not open for business. -- nm - Krusty Jul 5, 07:56
  - Which reminds me. Imagine being such a thin skinned crybaby that you ruin Twitter over it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:55
  - I was gonna say, Elon broke it. Just no one can decide where to go next. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:54 4
    - if media goes, I think people will go. and I see media moving to blue sky in a more meaningful way than they moved prev to like post or mastodon. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 5, 07:55 3
      - One benefit of Instagram’s Threads is Media is already there. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 08:12
      - Good to know. I actually haven't heard of blue sky before. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:56 1
        
        It sorta belongs to Jack Dorsey and it can be abbreviated to "BS", so I think that says all that needs to be said. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 08:20
eww, no -- nm - decline Jul 5, 07:49
As far as I can tell, it's only iPhone users currently, with Android "coming soon." -- nm - JaxSean Jul 5, 07:49
is it tied to FB login? cause if not they are stupid -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 5, 07:47 6
- They would have to make FB not required. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:52 2
  - oh for sure. but linking it to FB makes it instantly accessible, but not required -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 5, 07:54 1
    - Fair statement. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 07:54
- disagreed -- nm - Spawn Jul 5, 07:50 2
  - I mean, who wants a billion customers to have an easy time signing up for something. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 5, 07:53 1
    - I like Insta. I hate FB. This could be one or the other, but if you tie it to one, there you go. -- nm - Spawn Jul 5, 08:05
Nope, not gonna do it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 5, 07:47
