Now there’s 8chan, but what about future ones? Does it grow linearly (12chan, 16chan) or geometrically (32chan, 64chan)?

Thanks added!

Threads is weird, maybe because I’m not used to the Twitter-like format. Posting is fast like Lemmy (not surprising since it shares the Fediverse infrastructure). Replies are harder to read since it’s one level nested. There’s no downvotes.

Anyone can choose to tag any post or comment as any topic, like Twitter but hashtags don’t appear to be needed. Images and gifs are well supported by default, but it doesn’t support alt-text for accessibility.

The default feed is heavily bot-laden worth thirst-traps and AI women. You need to find actual people and follow them for recommendations for other real people to start to show up in the default feed which is a bit annoying. You end up with a social circle like in Facebook but they are complete strangers unless you accept recommendations from any Instagram contacts you know in real life. You need to turn off linking between Threads and Instagram (on both applications) if you want to keep them separate, it’s opt-out.

Political discussions are toxic; this is unsurprising. Lots of MAGA trash, but not Nazi-laden like X (formerly Twitter). Arguments with them are unfruitful.

The meme game is incredibly weak compared to here (thanks PugJesus, The_Picard_Maneuver, cm0002, Stamets, LadyButterfly, Track_Shovel, etc.). Lemmy has an incredible amount of fantastic memes for it’s size.

There are of course ads but they aren’t as obnoxious as Facebook ads. No doubt Meta is data mining the hell out of your content.

Since there’s millions of people (if they aren’t conflating with Instagram users) it’s incredibly active. That part is nice but you also get the stupidity and ignorance from Facebook-like users; this is where curating your follows is important.

The only time I’ve seen this relaxed before is on days that are unusually busy with lots of travelers.

It’s fun when one TSA employee tells you that you don’t need to take off your shoes and one ten feet away tells you to take off your shoes.

I’ve seen it around before but would like to know as well.

Is there a list of absolute train wrecks of TV shows as well? I think Tiger King might be up there on that list.

Has science gone too far‽

Interesting. It has structure. Magnetic phenomenon perhaps?

The worst Fourth of July so far.

No wonder it’s most popular!

I really hope the pendulum swings the other way in the future and we become the most Woke society imaginable.

Still, investors are shaking off the report, bidding the stock up 5.6% in premarket

How the hell is it rising on this news. This stock is super manipulated.

Time for Nexus Mods to move just a little bit from their home in the UK to the independent principality of Sealand so they don’t have to deal with all of this.

Also, I don’t understand why these laws won’t use a token verification system where the website just connects to a government server that verifies the identity and gives a submit simple yes/no instead of having to store Personally Identifiable Information (PII) themselves.

My right-wing friend finds AOC hot so he might actually vote for her if she runs.

Yes. Malicious compliance.

I appreciate that it is at least mostly organized on the shelves. It adds a level of professionalism.

Trump also said in the past that the Continental Army took over the airfields during the American Revolutionary War.

He’s not the best at history.
