I would hope those moving to Threads are only doing so out of curiosity and not just using one platform for all their online activity. We already know that there's a ton of data-mining and privacy invasions since the early days of Facebook. Giving Meta more data is not clever. Besides that, we've seen the kind of negative hive mentality and spread of misinformation that occurs on Twitter. It'll only get worse if everyone is using various Meta streams and there are no other sources of info. It's all moving in a weird direction. I don't think Threads will be the collapse of Twitter, though Zuck seems to be hoping for that. I just don't see it happening. There are now journalists using TikTok apparently (I read this, but I've never used it so I dunno), so maybe that's what will overtake everything. Not feeling so comfy about that either, lol.

What can renaming Twitter accomplish? Brands would kill for the kind of recognition that the name Twitter has, and he's trying to erase it? I do not understand what Musk's ultimate goal is. Like, at all. I keep waiting for it to make sense but, nope.

I may be wrong (it’s happened once or twice before lol), but I thought the platform owes like 10 billion to the google cloud and by renaming and incorporating the program into another platform he can get away with not paying that. With these guys it’s all about money and he’s cut the value of Twitter by 20 billion in the few short months he’s owned it. I don’t understand these things very well but there’s also rumors he’s trying to create an “everything in one” platform similar to what they’re running in China.

That explains so much. Thanks QZ. Can you imagine a normal person being able to dodge repayment of debt this way? Unthinkable, and yet, this guy... I despair.

Last news from twitter: Elon is going to charge everybody I have a blue sky invite code if someone wants. Blue sky is very, very quiet and I didn't find many of the people/org I follow and those I did they don't post much. My home feed is practically Neil Gaiman answering each "tweet".

Everyone will leave in droves. He’s made statements like this before and backtracked. We’ll see.

Last chance.
I have a blue sky invite code if anyone here wants it.
I've been searching bluesky and more people are joining.
From BC's fandom there are some I follow (I don't follow that many).

Sorry, I'm out of the loop. Am I right in thinking anyone can view Bluesky posts without an account? The invite code just gives permission to post?
