So. multiple attempts at cloning Snap, HouseParty, IRL etc. into standalone products were unique. And this one is just a minor tweak on Instagram? Let's discuss this in another 6 months. I can't predict what the future of Twitter is, but Threads would have been shuttered by then.

When was the last time, Facebook launched a successful standalone product?

  - WhatsApp - acqusition
  - Instagram - acquistion
  - Messenger - acquisition
  - Oculus - acquisition

Facebook has DNA to optimize feeds. It, simply, lack the DNA to build good products from scratch. My gut feeling no one will care about Threads, 6 months from now.

EDIT:

  - Facebook was all-in on cryptocurrencies. The project is fully gone.
  - Facebook was all-in on Messenger as a platform. The project is gone as well.
  - Facebook also launched dating a few years back. That project is dead too.
  - Someone pointed out in comments that Feed & Like as a concept was also based out of an acquisition called FriendFeed - https://techcrunch.com/2009/08/10/facebook-acquires-friendfeed/

Well she is not a white nationalist but a liberal, so, she is allowed to say that.

Twitter and liberal democracies can't co-exist. Either Twitter will ban/demote politics on its platform or politics will ban Twitter country by country.

It is actually worse that you said. It is like the US wants to have only mcdonald's, wendy's, burger king, or taco bell at the Indian airports.

The modern day blue-tick is equivalent of "Rai Bahadur" title British used to award to their subjects in colonial India.

Twitter banned TrueIndology multiple times while s/he would have been given a blue-tick had he been a leftist.

It is a privilege to say so, My wife's Christian family suffered a lot during Islamist-led civil war.

So, one criteria is bad just because others weren't considered? FWIW, Muslim hijras are not treated badly in these Muslim countries.

FWIW, There were thee more incidents and in all the cases lower caste girl was raped by Muslim guys. So, much for unnecessary giving caste/communal angle to a case of corruption and power.

I saw this on quite a few anti-India pro-pakistani sub-reddits where they are brigading this to top of hacker news.

Thanks for saying this. I don't know why everything has to be reduced to "Nazis".

Just like they become majority is Syria. And soon they are becoming majority in major European cities.

Why not mention that Modi is from OBC (Other backward caste)?
