These people are complaining on Twitter about Threads 😆 🤣

[CryptoAtlas]

Trump should have named his platform "Tantrum."

[AndyM_YYY]

Never mind Elon, you will always be bigger than Truth Social.

[martinhorner]

When Zuckerberg is cast as a "good guy with a gun", we (the United States of America) are F'd

[SkepticalChris]

Anything that hurts Elon Musk, has my support!

[joem]

FB is dying. Gen Zers don't use it.

[bobbyg]

I like my threads on youtube. I'll stick with the basics. This social media thingy is a circus. 🎪

[ricogutz]

Thanks for giving us a choice, Mr. Zuckerberg.

[USS-SNAKE-ISLAND]

I wish these two entities could find a way to completely destroy each other.

[ellenbenson]

Symone is a great anchor - really enjoy her manner and interviews

[davidanderson]

Twitter is suing Meta for poaching former employees, you mean the former employees Musk fired, ? Am I hearing this right?

[Just-Human]

I wont even consider Threads due to its censorship.

[RagingOzo]

I like that word "threading", I'm 'threading' on the 'web' lol

hypothetically speaking if I were to threaten someone on thread would I be threadening someone

[CetinAmsterdam]

RIP twitter last year was hard and miserable finally no more suffering you will be not missed🙏🏼

[scotchbarrel]

It should be called NEXUM - which is Latin for connection, tell Zuckerberg to send me royalties for the idea 👌

[erasmus]

Fukkerberg needs to work on his tan or drink more carrot juice...
We sure he's not a vampire?

[davidbrasher]

Good riddance to Twitter! (Although in coming years, I am sure we will all start to hate Threads like we hate Twitter and Facebook.)

[AI-xsfp]

Anything to destroy Elon Musk's extreme right-wing hate attacks on society has my approval. At least until something better comes along.

[KAZU-khlb]

It is possible that Twitter will eventually be replaced by Threds. Currently, Threds is somewhat difficult to use, so we hope for updates that will improve its usability. 😊😊

Shut down all social media. Worst thing to humanity.
