Facebook, whilst it is full of people I know doing nothing interesting, has a place. There are many good and useful communities on there.

Instagram is handy but ultimately full of influencers who have created a lifestyle of looking cool and being paid by thirsty brands, fuck you gymshark!

Twitter is, well full of people talking crap.

Threads would appear to take the worst of all of them and mash it together. I'm tempted to install it but not yet. How long do we give it until it dies off?

I wonder if AMAs will ever come to Lemmy. Part of the attraction for AMAs on Reddit was the immediate interaction with a mass audience.

Lemmy, as it stands doesn't have that mass media presence.

As the numbers get higher, my interest gets less and less.

A good example of the usefulness of social media platforms is tiktok. To start with it was a pointless platform, full of the young and beautiful dancing to shit music. It's still has plenty of that, but if you use the search function it has so reasonable content.

But threads can't be useful yet as nobody has figured out the application yet. Give it six months it might be okay but not yet.

I started with Zerotier. But at the time Zerotier didn't have exit routes, tailscale did so I tried that and haven't bothered looking at Zerotier since.

I don't know if Zerotier introduced that feature but I like that tailscale uses wireguard.

Much like having unprotected sex with a crack addict, it will probably leave you full of regret and probably a burning sensation in your gentlemen parts for some time.

I think I'll give it a miss for a while.
