Alessandro Paluzzi, a developer who routinely digs into app code to expose unreleased features, tweeted early this morning that Meta’s Twitter clone, Thread, had been released into the Google Play store. It appears as though that was a mistake, however, because the app is nowhere to be found now.
Someone needs to tell Meta that “Threads” is/was the name of a television series set in a hypothetical, post-nuclear-apocalypse version of 1980s Britain.
Talking about threads, lower-case T, that’s fine. You’re talking about narrow lines of spun fibre, etc. or metaphorically, discussions all connected together as if with the aforementioned lines.
Upper-case T; different matter. You’re evoking a dystopian nightmare that reduces humanity to educationally subnormal homunculi with no prospects, no future and various unalive things I’d use a spoiler tag and trigger warning for if I knew how to do that.
So what? You’re just describing what Zuck has been working towards since he started that shit at college.
My wording may not have been unintentional.
