Out of sheer boredom on a Saturday post-dinner, I opened up Threads (I no longer post there) and saw this cry for help. Poor bastards… #MetaWorld#AOLvibes

Threads user: “imagine a world in which you could put a link in an instagram post and it was ... clickable”

@ricmac It's hilarious how Mosseri has convinced #Threads users that the reason links are suppressed is because people don't do the thing that people have been doing since the beginning of the World Wide Web- click links.

Definitely not because Meta wants you trapped in its platforms. It's your fault, you see.

@ricmac Threads isn't the problem. It's Instagram, because every time I follow a link there it throws a popover telling me I have to sign in to an account I don't have (and never will).

Of course, that's not to say threads isn't *A* big problem.

@ricmac there are current and former MetaFace employees who will swear up and down that FB really loves the web, and I am concerned for their mental health.

@ricmac Wait, there are no clickable links on Instagram or Threads? That's...interesting. 😃

@mialikescoffee Well there are on Threads…but that’s *if* your post with links ever gets seen by your followers (hint: it won’t, because the Threads algorithm doesn’t like links)

@ricmac @Gargron FWIW you’re missing the context that Craig Mod knows other platforms exist
