All the saltiness I’m seeing here about the absolute clown show that are Threads feeds right now is:

1. Missing the point of how strong a launch this is (10m users in like 7 hours)

2. Not understanding that Threads doesn’t need to try hard to win, it can just let Twitter lose and auto-win simply *because there are no other serious contenders*

Only Elon could have given Zuck this easy of a win.

If we’re gonna make it illegal for parents to take kids to #drag shows, then by the same logic we should make it illegal for them to take kids to church, since that’s where the abuse happens anyway.

I'm really sorry, but passkeys aren't user friendly. When we were doing IT onboarding for new hires recently, a bunch of people fell off during passkey setup and needed assistance on the side, and these are tech workers.

You basically go through a series of clicks and taps without really understanding what you're doing, and god forbid you need to "reset" them or troubleshoot in any way. The only way the average user buys into this is by being forced into it.

Imagine what the GOP would be doing in this situation for a Dem-appointed judge.

I remember seeing somewhere a discussion around why kids go around sending voice messages to each other instead of texts.

But if you zoom out, it becomes obvious that in some ways we’re going back to being an oral culture. Podcasts, audiobooks, even video essays fit the bill.

Gmail UI/UX is barely acceptable these days, honestly. I keep my sanity only with the https://simpl.fyi/ extension. If you have any other inbox type except the default, the mobile app is also inconvenient to use.
