Mark F***king Zuckerberg Is Not Your Friend
(catvalente.substack.com)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm glad I'm apparently not online enough to have any idea what she's pissed off about
Twitter had an outage at the same time Threads: An Instagram App was launching. Threads now has something like 100 million accounts in a matter of days.
So apparently lots of people and businesses are replacing Twitter with Threads. It's just over here on Lemmy, most of us seem to be Reddit refugees. There is a lot of discussion about Threads federation via ActivityPub (if you are on the right communities at least), but otherwise I think we are all mostly just happy to leave all that corporate BS behind.
yeah, I know about Threads, I just haven't seen any of this zuck fanboying that she's talking about
I've seen a lot of people suggest that Zuck is a more ethical person, which I think is an absolutely ridiculous claim.
Yep. The difference is emotional, not material. Zuck, like most billionaires, seems happy to sleep on his pile of Scrooge McDuck money and fuck people over. Muskrat does all that, but he asks something more of us than our money and our lives. He wants, maybe even needs, us to love and respect him while he does it. And that sets rage-fires in the brain-parts.
He's the Milhouse of billionaires, constitutionally, utterly unable to be anything remotely close to cool, yet obsessively craves to be perceived as such. And any and all of his attempts put him farther away to this goal.
