They will shit their pants once they find out about the metaverse logo. Personally, the Threads logo reminds me of a coiled tapeworm, which is very appropriate.

As a Satanist, I'd like to, on behalf of the rest of us, say that we (and Satan) do NOT endorse Threads and Meta AT ALL. I will not stand for the absolute slander. Satan is far and beyond the Zuck morally.

Wish they would stop trying to make Facebook cooler.

Honestly, that right wing mob are some of the densest motherfuckers about.

The shit they believe, utter fucking lnuckle dragging eejits.

The government just committed to giving everyone access to high speed internet, but knowing what we know now about the far right maybe we should be taking access away...

Mate it’s leaking all around the world. My maw, a 63 year old Scottish woman on the west coast fell into that right wing pipeline and started sending me fucking videos of Ben Shapiro! Wasn’t long before I cut my “family” out of my life . I’ve three kids who are LGBTQ+ and I’ll be fuckin’ damned if I’m gonna let these troglodytes get any influence over my kids. Paradox of tolerance has never been more relevant than it is now. Fuck the lot of them.

Suddenly making broadband internet available to everyone is a priority when it's easier than ever to turn someone into a queerphobic automaton on the internet.

It’s sad that the same people who want their god to reign supreme over everyone and everything always seem to make him so weak that even an icon is dangerous. It must be utterly exhausting to be so threatened all the time.

I agree, but only because Zuckerberg is clearly a demon wearing human skin.

Right-wing influencers are trying desperately to keep their christian userbase using Lord Musk's Twitter, and away from Zucks shit. It's all dumb.

The right-wing intelligentsia.

The Devil needs a better graphic designer. Saul Bass that shit! Don't make it so obvious that the their/they're/there/can't figure out apostrophes people can see it.

Wait they might be right this one time

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

You give them any freaking shape and they try to find symbolism in it. Next I'm gonna hear that they think apples are satanic or something...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Well of course they are. That's just easy clicks/shares for them and their people eat it right up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These kinds of people are scared of what they admit would be the most impotent of groups! Oh no, Satan’s goal is just to hide symbols everywhere?

Somehow a monster energy bottle will make people atheist

Bottoms up! And Satan laughs…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t believe the logo is a symbol of anything, but I am curious about what the designers were going for when they made it. It’s a piece of thread that forms an “@“ symbol, I’m guessing? It doesn’t seem like great branding , but I’m no expert.

My first thought was a fingerprint and an @

Even a stopped watch is correct twice a day. :-)

Too bad instagram is blocked in China. 666 is a lucky number over there.

[–] electriccars 3 points 2 years ago

Clearly it's actually 99 which is a reference to Brooklyn nine nine the TV show!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

666, poop from above..... It ain't that deep, it's a fucking @ sign.

Threads sucking doesn't hinge on its logo being some hidden symbolic thing.
