The Ultimate.

Lorem ipsum Chicken, now with more lorem ipsum.

Don’t these companies know how to properly configure a database? This seemed like it was completely preventable.

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, cm0001, 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.

No Skibidi Ohio? Has this gone out of fashion?

I dunno. A sport that uses balls? Never gonna be popular.

Nothing can compete with Basketcube, Basetetrahedra, or Foottesseract.

People are generally closer physically in Facebook marketplace compared to the global eBay market.

I heard the graphics are really good. And the framerates extremely high. But there are mosquitoes so it’s probably not worth it.

Mind controlled sex bots when?

There is also the guy masturbating as well.

Well shit.

Well that was super painless. Downloaded my .json settings, imported, and it’s like nothing even happened. All sublemmy communities I was subscribed to before have migrated successfully.
