@atomicpoet @fediversenews considering I consistently typed "Calkey" instead of "Calckey" I fully support this name change 😁

Fired up #Threads and scrolled for a few minutes through the content that was placed in my timeline by The Almighty Algorithm.

Gotta say, if #Meta were going for a first impression of "Wow I care about literally none of this inane bullshit" then they nailed it.

@ocdtrekkie @feditips constantly throwing "Tucker Carlson" and "conspiracy theory" around doesn't lend any weight to your argument BTW.

It is however making my eyes roll dangerously far back in my head, so I'll bow out. Well played.

@feditips @ocdtrekkie agreed.

I think it's safe to say that we are all greatful for the Mastodon project, but putting the rumours to bed would help quell the unease that a lot of people are feeling right now.

@ocdtrekkie @feditips asking if something is true or false only after it's been proven true or false seems somewhat redundant...

@ocdtrekkie @feditips he's said he isn't aware of secret deals, it's not the same thing.

@ocdtrekkie @feditips ok good, we have established that there are no deals. Now I'd like an answer to the question that @feditips asked.

@aral The sad part is that to some people the attention they get from MegaCorp, and saying they are "in discussion" with MegaCorp, is enough for them. Hell, I think I'd prefer it if money was involved, at least that wouldn't be quite so embarrassing.

@feditips My cat's introduction post got more attention than mine, maybe I should pin that one instead 😅

@feditips tbh it's nice to see a review that doesn't read like the below, for a change.
