I sometimes forget that Threads is still a thing. I'm not a fan of Threads personally, and moving from Twitter to Threads feels like leaving one dumpster fire for a different dumpster fire with only slightly less fire, but I guess there is less fire. Are the choices here only Musk or Zuck?? Because that feels like some really bad choices. If I HAD to choose one, I'd choose Zuck, but I don't really have to choose one.

I hope #Wikimedia got something good out of this, otherwise it feels a lot like extortion. "Give us direct access to your data or we're going to scrape the shit outta your site over and over and over until you go broke paying for data transfers." I mean, logically this kind of deal makes sense to avoid the constant data scraping, but wow it feels like they're getting screwed in the deal unless there's some part of the arrangement that isn't public yet.
