I might have said this before, but it is worth repeating. I can’t stand LinkedIn. It is intrusive, used for spaming and solicitation. The few times I have been in it, because I have received notifications, I have encountered presumptous people that I don’t know, using the platform as a second Facebook (which I detest). Sadly, work nagged about not being on LinkedIn, so I am.

I don’t want to come across as a ranting person, but I think I need a rant icon.

OK, so I created an Instagram account, so I could try Threads, and this that Claud wrote about was the first thing I noticed. Who are those people on my timeline, or whatever Threads calls it?!

Correct me if I am wrong, but there is no way to use Threads without an Instagram account? The app itself simply asks to login with Instagram, not even a “Don’t have an account? Create one” within the app interface. Meta’s so funny! Deleted.

Pretty funny way to take a stab at Musk’s Twitter’s idiotic rate limiting self-destructing measures.

If you still had doubts, have no more. It is now common knowledge that Twitter is imploding, but if you didn’t believe it, there is now Threads coming to take a stab at Twitter’s corpse.

I was fairly flexible on this, and would follow links to it depending on who was sharing them. Yet, as of now and forward, will not follow/click/tap on anything linking to Twitter. What was left of my relationship with it is now over.

Someone please come up with a nice interface for Lemmy, and I will jump right in. It seems to be very, very slow too.

I got an invite to Bluesky, and signed up. It reaffirmed my realisation: social media in general isn’t worth it. The same people following the same people. And I truly don’t know any of them. The same topics, the same memes. It is boring, unappealing, tiresome.
