Jerry already caught me up.

To those who haven’t heard it before, it sounds like a way to note that Threads can interope with the Fediverse, now (I can see people who were super excited about Meta joining doing that).

Maybe it being capitalized also made it the first thing my brain jumped to.

In any case, I was mistaken and just hadn’t heard of the term before; just ignore my original comments, basically: they’re wrong.

Ah; I rescind my comments and apologize. I can see the reasoning.

What the Hell is a Threadiverse? Maybe we don’t give a corporate entity branding and credit for a network we built well before they ever came along.

Preach.

Definitely could be; the husband’s autistic (and was very surly the first time Musk said as much) but it didn’t feel like that. In any case, just a theory, more than anything.

Oh, of course. Like I said, the consequences are the same.

Honestly, most of his turn to the far right had felt like he’s largely LARPing and sort of just trying it out (not that it doesn’t have real consequences, of course, but it’s felt more like someone trying to join a clique than a serious ideological conviction).

I don’t know how to describe why but it has a certain trying-out-a-new-hobby approach to it. Maybe it’s the way he goes to the very extreme, immediately. His endorsement of the Alternative for Germany party felt like pushing boundaries or, “Let me see how far I can get (in terms of influencing things, like he did with America).” His Nazi salute felt like he’d been rehearsing it because he thought it’d look so cool or he wanted to try it out for the first time (again, to test boundaries).

I could be wrong but it’s all felt…unserious (in terms of his intentions; definitely not the consequences).

This isn’t related to the thread conversation, at all, but your username is fantastic.

Now knowing the context, it’s so…Musk-like.

Oh, they won’t realize what I’m doing if I pretend it’s symbolizing my heart going out towards the crowd…

*throws the most awkward and uncoordinated Fascist salute, ever*

In the pre-Trump world, none. In this administration, I think it’ll barely even register.
