Meanwhile, Meta Threads is on track to launch shortly [1].

Which is based on an open-standard, interoperates with Mastodon and is from a company that has the battle scars to prove that they can operate a global service in a mature and a reasonable way.

Given Jack Dorsey's support of the crazier positions of Elon Musk and RFK e.g. WiFi causes leaky brain it really does look like the best of a bad bunch.

Gross, another Facebook product. I wouldn’t be touching anything Facebook builds with a 10-foot-pole and a hazmat suit. Does anyone actually want awful-Facebook Twitter? It’ll be the worst bits of Facebook and Twitter in record time.

By which we mean: capitalises on work done to form an open standard, to parasitically drain users, and then deliberately break compatibility a year down the track. FB messenger literally did this when it started too - supported a bunch of different protocols to capture everyone, and then let them break.

That said, I’m impressed teams at Facebook have managed to stop working on stealing features wholesale from TikTok and Zuck’s anaemic VR disaster long enough to knock out an app to parasitise a different community.

yeah, I'm not sure why he's going all-in on a fringe candidate who's clearly never going to win
