As someone not using Threads this is a big surprise. I mean I’m surprised it didn’t already have ads.
As another someone who doesn’t use Threads, it is a big surprise to find out there’s a website or something called Threads that looks like it’s related to email and apparently is popular.
It’s Facebook brand Twitter, and is or was planned to be compatible with Mastodon (Fediverse Twitter)
“is popular”
Im pretty sure they auto setup an account on threads for anyone on Instagram to artificially make it popular.
As someone who uses thread how do you guys sew stuff?
we glue or melt things together. sometimes a stapler comes in handy as well
I use duct tape.
That was my first thought. I was surprised to find this out.
What do you mean, it’s brand new??!
Mastodon isn’t.
Lemmy isn’t.
Thank fuck.
Btw, I have this referral code for PAID: Shadow Workers. If you use my sign up code you’ll receive 10,000 SlutCoin and a free MegaSlurpJob, so sign up today with the code: LemonParty69
I am in.
I want to know how sloppy the MegaSlurpJob is first. Free is free, but I want to know how much value I’m getting first before committing.
How long before they introduce some sweet new fascism features?
“Our new GestureSupport(“Gestapo”) means you can now upvote by striking your arm up and to the right…”
Maybe a slider so we can adjust how much “masculine energy” shows up in our feeds?
Is Threads even a good enough product for users to be willing to endure ads?
No, now that Bluesky is around I’ve stopped using Threads altogether.
Blue sky getting ads in 3, 2, 1….
Enshitification step 3
Happened even faster than I thought lol.
The enshittification is carried over from other products. They’re meta, so anything they launch is partly along the path already, because they can artificially boost the launch numbers with cross-platform promotion, and because everyone already knows what assholes they are, they’re starting off with a lot of goodwill lost.
Basically, just slapping a new name and a new account creation process on some new features in their social network, is not enough to make it a new network.
I’m curious how Quest headsets will be enshitified.
I remember the heady days when I thought this was the final step of enshittification. Such simple and innocent times.

BlueSky is next
They wouldn’t need ads if they took a cut from all the porn and crypto ad bots littering the comment sections
Threads is still around?
Yes this is so confusing to me. There was a blast of attention about it when it was launched that lasted like a week max and then everyone completely forgot about it. I thought it was a short-run experiment that got shut down. What reason is there to use threads? Are there any actual humans who still use it? I’ve never visited it but something tells me that it’s just like reddit with at most 100 real users and the rest is just bots replying to bots.
You’ve got ads. Eventually but full-blown ads.
AHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Oh no. Anyway…
That was quick.
I’m honestly amazed they didn’t have ads out of the gate, Meta’s whole schtick is advertising and data.
When reading the title I accidentally placed an ‘i’ in ‘ads’…
There are no accidents
Tell that to my little brother.
