I missed those days, in my group chat we used to screenshot whenever our boy's went mad liking every post on a girls page in the middle of the nightLot of potential. I'm just curious if it's going to be like twitter or IG when you like things. I remember when IG changed it to where nobody could see your likes unless they saw the same post because mfs was getting in trouble
Hopefully they keep it like that
Or how snapchat used to get people in trouble, I would always have girls (yes, multiple) I'd be trying to smash as my best friends... And my dumbass self never thought that they can see eachother... And what' even more crazy my girl at the time would ask me questions about these girls and I thought I was slick lying. I'm am idiot
No way this replaces twitter if porn is not allowed
Also Twitter's interface is mostly where they win. It's simple, clean and easy to see. Other discourse/chat platforms fukk up on being cluttered and annoying to visually navigate

Have these thots made the switch? 
Once most of these Twitter hoes I follow switch up, I might sign up. I only signed up to Twitter because I couldn’t lurk anymore (blocked images).
Edit: guess I’m staying on twatter for now.

Dumbass Musk did it to himself. 
Looking forward to one day when I don't see anyone posting Musk's Right Wing propaganda app on the Coli any more 
Site admins and many others across the internet had some bawls, would ban all links to that garbage

Sex workers worry that Threads could kill their business
Meta-owned apps have traditionally had far more stringent rules around adult content—while Twitter has long been more laidback.

For many, the arrival of Threads, Meta’s new microblogging platform killer, has been hailed as a welcome savior from Elon Musk’s glitch-ridden Twitter. But it’s a different story for sex workers, for whom Threads is a step backwards in terms of visibility and support.
Sex powers a surprisingly large proportion of Twitter.One in eight posts on the platform are adult NSFW content, according to Reuters. For sex workers, Musk’s company presents a way to drum up business and build up a client base.
Meta, by comparison, is often far less friendly to sex workers. It has historically banned “female presenting nipples” and nudity of all types where other platforms have been more permissive. A 2020 policy change made more explicit the inability for creators to link to sexual content on Meta platforms. Pornhub has previously said Instagram discriminates against sex workers. And just last month, the Meta-owned Instagram incorrectly banned—and later reinstated—around four dozen sex-related Instagram accounts, many of which are focused around sex education, rather than sexual content. (Meta did not immediately respond to a request to comment.)
Ashley, a sex worker advocate who declined to share her last name for fear of online retaliation, worries that Instagram’s habit for overzealous moderation will also become an issue with Threads. “I imagine it will be similarly as difficult as it is to operate on Instagram,” she says. “It’ll be impossible for sex workers to build stability and a reliable community.” And considering that Threads received as many downloads in seven hours as Twitter did in two-plus years, that could spell big trouble for sex workers. (Threads’Terms of Use inherits those of Instagram’s by default, including its approach to nudity and soliciting sex.)
Many have already raised concerns about what happens to conversations around sex in a Meta-controlled social media universe. “For sex workers, adult content creators or nude creators, or sex positive creators, this is not going to be the safe haven it is for a lot of other people,” says Carolina Are, innovation fellow at the Center for Digital Citizens. “If Twitter dies and Threads takes over . . . I don’t think Meta is going to review the community guidelines when it comes to nudity any time soon.”
The likelihood of Threads replacing Twitter may seem theoretical, but it appears Musk himself is spooked by the rise of the Meta app: Already, Twitter has threatened to sue Meta for stealing its concept of a microblogging platform.
Social media platforms have long been a way that sex workers can find work. On Twitter, sex workers and content creators are able to direct users off-platform to adult websites like OnlyFans. On Meta platforms, that becomes much trickier because of a more draconian approach to content moderation.
The problem stems back to the 2018 passage ofthe FOSTA-SESTA laws, which wrongfully equated sex work with sex trafficking. That, combined with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which regulates digital platforms including websites and apps, put a huge onus on tech platforms to ensure they weren’t hosting sexual content that could fall foul of FOSTA-SESTA.
Meta’s own Oversight Boardcriticized the company for its policy on female nudity in January 2023, suggesting that, as designed, it may not respect international human rights standards by discriminating on the basis of sex or gender. The board also highlighted that uncertainty over guidance on the company’s sexual solicitation community standard was causing confusion and “enforcement errors on Meta’s part” against people who do not breach the rules.
Threads’ incredible rise, packing on 30 million users in 24 hours, leaves those selling sex with a conundrum: Do they follow the crowds onto Threads and risk being banned? Or do they sit it out and watch their existing driver of business wilt away into nothing? “It just seems like it’d be crazy to build a large community on Threads when it’s so hostile,” says Ashley, the sex worker advocate.
But at the same time, she admits, it’s likely many will try. Because that’s how they pay the bills.
I have a Twitter but I haven’t really been active there in years. That bigot Elon acquiring it really didn’t mean much to me.
I played around with that IG threads app last night a little bit.
It’s kinda of clunky right now and is going to need to be refined and streamlined.
I’m sure that will come with future updates.

First time I've wanted Zuckerberg to succeed at something
The conflict is what makes Twitter.
I never see anything positive trending
So if threads don't have that it won't succeed
videos on threads are so fukking clean...
