I had no idea he was sick. That’s really sad.

Sickest hacker the ever was.

Damn, somewhat of a legend. Sorry for his wife who is pregnant with their first child.

Pregnant and he was 59?

essteeyou ,

It happens.

I don’t mean this comment to be facetious towards OP.

Seeing reports that interest died down on a newly released item, be it a game, social media, or tv series, is just to be expected. May as well report that water is still wet.

Now i am pretty sure that’s not a crossword puzzle on the attached picture. Maybe OP needs to do more crosswords

I signed up/in once and haven’t used it again.

I use it to follow people I used to follow on Twitter that haven’t done the Fediverse thing. I mostly just read though.

I hate the fact that there’s no feed and I also hate that on Android when you switch back to the app it refreshes and jumps to the top so you can’t find anything. :/

I feel like that’s gotta be pretty normal for hyped up product launches, a lot of people just join to see what it is at first.

i’m just over here waiting for the federation to happen so i can spy on Threads stuff from the safety (and sanity) of my own mastodon instance ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Mastodon is so much better

HipPriest ,

I left Twitter back in 2016 when I realised I wasn't using it anymore and it had come up in a you've been pwnd result. Figured I'd just delete the account instead of resetting the password and didn't miss it.

But I signed up to Mastodon today, because why not? I don't really see why it's being called hard to use. There's some nice apps as well, which is making me more excited for a Kbin app when I wasn't so bothered before...

Epicurus0319 ,

It’s somewhat harder to find friends on there, but once you do they’ll be quality over quantity. And besides, they even have a cool poll-based RPG account.

HipPriest ,

I used the time honoured technique of posting a cute picture of my cats and hashtagging it. Also found some interesting people to follow - liking it a lot!

Remember to make your intro post! Tag it with plus the tags for whatever else you’re into. Let the people come to you! 😄

HipPriest ,

Ha! I've come to you!

I've created a separate Mastodon profile so you'll have to guess who I am though 🤔

TeaHands ,
@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

Truly you are a master of disguise

Epicurus0319 ,

If you post it they will come. (But you’ll have to guess my profile, it existed prior to my discovery of lemmy so I didn’t register using my lemmy.world account)

I’d recommend watching that movie if you want to scare the shit out of yourself. After the blast is worse than the blast itself.

I find it funny that no one in Meta involved with the upcoming new social media had ever heard of the movie when the name was suggested.

If half of the users who tried it out stuck around, then they’re incredibly successful.

Ertebolle , to technology in A week in, Threads has lost half of its active users

I'd probably use it more if there was a browser/desktop app. But I've got like 1% as many followers there as I do on Mastodon, so I don't think I'd post anything regardless.
