Threads website is now live:  https://www.threads.net/

Also, I found a Twitter to Threads follows finder:

Wasn't an amazing app, but found a dozen Thread people to follow.

Found an even better Twitter to Threads follower utility.

You install it on your browser .. it goes to Twitter and scrapes out your follow list.  Then it goes to Threads and tries each Twitter handle .. if it finds a match, it clicks the "follow" button.

Took about 8 minutes for it to cycle through mine, although it'd take more if you have tons of Twitter follows.

Half my Twitters did not have Threads accounts .. or didn't match.  But it helped a ton.

Paid political advertising.   That is one way to generate revenue.

Dude is a genius at delivering the content keeps his fans, aka roqqet and heisy, riled up and coming back for more.

What about the New York Times?

Been failing for almost a decade.  Any day now they'll finally be all the way failed.

Or so I'm told.

That's what they get for not reporting about Obama's crack-fueled sexual escapades.

I think we can stay non-political here, (but probably not), but this seems VERY dangerous

What are you talking about, perfectly normal to make a significant geopolitical decision based on the tweets of a guy who lives in Malaysia and crap posts about US politics all day.

hen Musk tells us who he is (as he has done numerous times), believe him.

In this case its Musk and Ukraine, but this is going to continue to happen with different players.  We have private companies whose technological reach and resources is greater than many countries, so those countries are going to necessarily be reliant on the whims of those companies to prosecute war.

I saw an opinion today that this is a gateway to technology platforms being held accountable for what happens on their technology. I mean, Elon Musk said it.

Why shouldn't Facebook, Google, Reddit, and every ISP (including Starlink) be policing content and activity happening on their platform/network?

Why don't the phone companies police the activity on their lines/networks?

Explain why free speech applies to words from a voice, not words on a screen?

Even $1 a year is too much.

I get why he'd do it but think he underestimates where the bot farms are originating

I wouldn't pay $1 to continue using any social media. Except for MUScoop, well worth the money.

0% chance I pay for twitter. Tbh, it'd probably be good for me if he implemented this and gave me the nudge I need to turn that thing off.

Same.  I'm on Bluesky now.  Key follows for news are on there, local and national, at least for me. 

It's like early twitter before the bots took over.  Only drawback is the limited invites to people from Twitter you'd like on Bluesky as well

[jficke13]

Same for me. Side note to anyone here, I've got 5 invite codes if anyone needs one.
