   I am a tech nerd and commentator who jumps on every new social media thing but I have absolutely no interest in the non-organic, autotuned community McMansion that is Threads. Seriously, do we really need another product from the "we didn't invent fascism, we just give the people what they want" company?

     Whether we need it or not, whether we want it or not, they'll force it upon the public anyway, and then try and pretend that we were asking for it all along.

     When the fact that it doesn't allow you to curate your own timeline is the least objectionable aspect of the whole thing, I feel it'd be no great stretch to shut it down and seal the whole thing off with 'This Is Not A Place of Honour' on it as a warning to future social media architects.

     @theogrin I wish we could just meet it with total indifference, like we did with the metaverse
