Last month, @tomcoates was one of only ~20 people at a meeting at Meta's SF offices where the Threads team talked openly about their plans for integrating it with the Fediverse, including their broad roadmap, motivations, and plans for content moderation and personalization. Tom posted his extensive notes and thoughts from the meeting, and it's well worth reading for anyone interested in the subject. http://plasticbag.org/archives/2024/01/how-threads-will-integrate-with-the-fediverse/

@lawyersgunsnmoney oh don’t be a cock. I have other things to do and haven’t sorted it out.

@tomcoates

This is 2024 and you're running an http:// web site, not https:// and you're telling people not to be a cock when they bring that fact up?

And yet we're supposed to trust your opinion about and and and ?

In 2024?

I'd already scanned your article and thought it was pretty glib and gushy and now I learn this about you

Wow...

@FinchHaven No, I called them a cock for being a cock about it. Obviously I should fix that. But I haven’t got around to it. Is there anything you’ve not got around to? At all? Good, then you understand. Now, don’t be a fucking cock about it.

@tomcoates

Just for your information I spent about three weeks last spring bringing all the top-level web pages on my domain name, dated from 1998, up to https:// so yeah

But then I'm not a famous influencer

Why don't you just hire someone to do it?

All it takes is an sftp connection and a local text editor

@FinchHaven because I can’t actually afford it right now, thanks. Because I’m not a famous influencer. I’m a designer and builder who had a really hard time during the pandemic and has taken a break from tech, and don’t want to spend a chunk of cash on something that until yesterday literally no one gave a fuck about.

@FinchHaven as of then, by the way, precisely two people have been pissed off about it, you and the cock person. And frankly I owe you precisely nothing and am not super interested in your opinions. So, I dunno, stop being a cock and let me get on with my evening?

A shame this thread degenerated into a cock-fight. I found the article useful as a particularly summary of the background when and if Threads opens up in the Fediverse. Till then I'm not taking any decisions so I don't have time to analyse or check the content. I was hoping someone else would so it could be tested.

Engaging with just the url and dissing the whole content on that point (right or wrong) is unhelpful.

@andybaio I misread that as Tom Cruise at first and got very confused.

@pvanb Fun fact: @tomcoates also does all his own stunts.

@andybaio @pvanb Accurate. I have no one else to get out of bed or watch TV for me. Sometimes I even go to the shops.
