Today, while working on his Space, I decided to check what the preview of the notes ¹ in Meta would look like. But he changed his mind after he saw a “closed door” in the form of a login page. My page Facebook I have long been closed and I don’t want to check I can enter using the login and password or I need to restore the account first (or it will recover after entering the debugger).

But we are talking about something else. More recently, every platform came up with and imposed on us its standards. As an example, AMP from Google or the same pages from Facebook (I don’t even remember what they called). They try to introduce such standards in any direction of technology, because it is profitable to manage the standard and have dependent users.

Hands assemble a billion-year clock from the Lego construction set. The author of the channel collects a lot more. The presentation is interesting - the assembly starts simple and gradually becomes more complicated.

I thought this video was a great illustration of making a product more complex for the sake of complexity. Billion year clock? Cool! What time is it now?

I used Threads for a bit before it closed the door on Europeans and many VPN users again.

I didn’t see anything new or revolutionary there—another social network. Yes, now it seems that your messages are seen by different people and you see messages from different people (and this is already bad ;-), but the network was launched recently.

Here is opinion that Threads causes internal conflict and that- it will force you to change in life:

There is also a feeling that threads develops an interesting internal conflict in people:

Social the network offers unprecedented mechanisms for involving strangers, but many have nothing to offer them to develop this involvement. Someday you start to get tired of nudes, good mornings, sucking on m/f topics, etc.

I think in this social network. networks have a certain cultural threshold. And she will force you to change something in your life as the number of people here grows :)

Evolutionary algorithms in action :)

All this is beautiful in theory, but in practice a mass product always adapts to the majority. Most likely, gradually Threads will motivate people to write nonsense (for example, by promoting it). Society is like this, which means a mass product will make money from it while it can, and not try to “grow” an audience.

Threads is young and so far it really seems democratic and interesting. But I predict that very soon it will turn into Twitter.

I want to be wrong and see a social network that, as the author noted in the post above, will force users to change something in their lives.
