Wasn't he going to sue Threads for "stealing their talent" (hiring some of the massive amounts of programmers they got rid of)?

Did he ever go through with that, or did his lawyers manage to talk him out of it?

Why would they arrest their own undercover agents?

Ever hear the term "Agent provocateur"?

dealing with ads

Just use an adblocker. It's basic internet safety at this point. I recommend ublock origin. If you're on mobile, android's version of firefox can use it as well.

Correct. Defederation is one-way.

Reminder: The other pieces deferated Zuck. He did not defederate them. This means other pieces are unaffected by anything he does, but he is still affected by them... and by the mold.

And the mold has just destroyed Zuck's disguise.

That #1 is close to my own reason - a few small communities I'm part of, with very little fediverse activity.

Always using an adblocker of course, having one is basic internet safety, and it reducing reddit's profits is a nice bonus.

I've also got 300, no clue what to do with it. Maybe give out 3 random silvers? Not that it does anything.

If "socialism" means holding companies accountable for their actions instead of letting them do whatever they want, sign me the fuck up.

Problem is, you don't become a billionaire without massive amounts of exploiting people for profit, and someone like that isn't going to support Lemmy since there's no profit to be had. There are no left-leaning billionaires, only neo-liberal billionaires.

I can see it, despite being in the EU. No VPN either.

They did have a cookie popup, maybe adding that was what delayed them. Threads clearly wasn't ready to launch, but they're pouncing on Twitter imploding.

Also, trying to "like" something gives the message "Threads hasn't rolled out to your region yet.Until then, you can continue viewing content."

They got in again. Site image is different than before (earlier hack it was trump, now it's that image of the woods guy), sidebar image is also the woods guy now (idr what it was earlier in the hack but something else), and instead of redirecting to lemon party, it now says "Site has been seized by Reddit for copyright infringment". Also they spelled infringement wrong.

Still happens in incognito mode and with cleared cache, or even a different browser. This is server side.
