The threat suggests that Threads is the most serious rival yet to Elon Musk’s chaotic social platform.

    Anyone else thinks it’s funny that journalist always have to explain/describe what Meta is? Be it the parent company of Facebook, Whatsapp or Instagram.

      I’m glad they do. Meta’s name change shouldn’t free them from the reputation they earned with facebook. Pin the old name to them whenever possible.

        I just call them Facebook, like everyone and their mother still calls Google Google. Fuck them thinking they can steal other people’s name and sue them for it.

          What if Zuck comes out of his lizard hole and utters the word:

          FEDIVERSE.

          to proclaim that Meta, formally known as Facebook, is now changing their name to Fedi.

          Funny, I make an effort to call them DoubleClick. We should remember the name of the malicious ad agency, not the indexed search engine.

        Never forget that Xfinity is just Comcast. Comcast is Xfinity. Comcast and Xfinity are the same thing.

      I don’t think anyone but Google itself takes the name “Alphabet” seriously, either.

          Google is Alphabet. It was created by restructuring its companies under one umbrella company.

            So what you’re saying is that Alphabet became the parent company, and owns its subsidiary Google, and that Google isn’t Alphabet itself per se.

            Thanks for the insight.
