Mastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn't hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?

    Not the best name for a website, I clicked the link and saw a big 404 popup and immediately backed out assuming the link was broken lol

      Yeah I guess the guy felt it was clever for his blog or something.

      It would have been better with something more interesting, like maybe 418 - “I’m a teapot” : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/418

        It’s not a blog. These are the strongest of the tech journalists from Vice News’s Motherboard (tech section) who started their own separate venture independent of Motherboard.

      Same thing happened to me, initially, when 404 media created their site.

      The name is clever, but it has to hurt them in exactly this way.
