That answers my question, Erdogan doesn't give a shit about the agreement, Lol.

Maybe we can get some Threads instead of Twitter content in the future If those who post about the war will use it. Time to give Twitter less traffic

Not sure how many have moved over to Threads, it also doesn't have a web app yet, as a result, I also don't have a Threads account, yet.

I'm unsure which I will stick with for now, it's a choice between piss, shit and vomit, Lol.

We have Threads, owned by Zuckerberg (a twat) and if Threads does take off, it risks giving quite a garbage company like Meta, a Social Media monopoly. Then we have Twitter ran by Comrade Musk, another dickhead. I'd argue that Zuckerberg is the lesser of two evils but it's close enough. Threads also said they aren't a place for Politics, I don't know what that even means.

Then we have BlueSky...That doesn't have a web app either yet though, BlueSky also has Jack Dorsey on the Board...Yet another moron, I don't know how much control he has but he shares a lot of the same ideals as Musk. The silver lining for BlueSky, I guess, is that Jack doesn't outright own the company unlike Musk and Zuckerberg.

None of them will likely work with VGChartz's embedding though and likely never will because VGChartz.

Zuck sucks but I almost never even hear something about or from that guy. Musk on the other hand is in my opinion a ticking bomb especially with his cult following which Zuck doesn't have. Musk is able to do a lot of harm to anything and tens of millions would support him whatever he does. Maybe I'm paranoid but I think Musk is one of the biggest narcissists ever and with his following that can't be good.

I've got a Threads app over an APK because it's not yet available in the EU for regulatory reasons (especially changes in the EU yet to come)

I agree that Musk is worse, Zuckerberg is your typical, average, shady businessman knobhead, Lol. Musk acts like a cultist who shoves his uneducated opinion into everything because he knows how to build rockets and has a cult of weirdo followers to attack anyone who dares to criticise Musk desperate for his attention and approval. Musk is more dangerous because he has a larger following whilst Zuckerberg is treated as a bit of a joke on a personal level.

Think Twitter will be fucked either way, it's like watching a fire slowly burn down your house...

Russia says Turkey has violated terms.

Erdogan spitting in Putin's face so publicly is hilarious.

Not only broke the agreement to keep them in Turkey until the war is over but they may return to the frontlines too? And Russia swapped these extremely capable fighters for fucking Medvedchuk, Lmfao. On the basis that they would remain in Turkey though.

This very busy day has come to an end. Today, from the very morning, I had time to listen to reports from the front, to congratulate Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny on his birthday. Then a prayer with His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew for the victims of the war.

Security talks with partners – the PM of the Netherlands and Portugal. Finally, a meeting with our heroes – the defenders of Mariupol and Azovstal. We've returned them home. I introduced the new commander of the National Guard. And I honored by name all the heroes of this war – of our full-scale defense, all those whose bravery we can talk about now.

At the end – Lviv, a joint prayer for victory, for our soldiers, for our state. Thank you to everyone who fights for Ukraine! Thank you to everyone who defends Ukrainians and brings our victory closer!



Regarding the Twitter vs. Threads debate, I'd just like to point out that Meta has immense capability to spy on people through its various services, which Twitter probably has much less of. Of course the info is where it is and we must follow, but that's my two cents on the matter (and just for the record, I don't like either very much).

True but Musk also plans all of what Meta does in one App with X. So in the end both will provide social services for "everything" to combine your political views with who your friends are, where you work and what you do in the holidays and so on...

That isn't good but maybe gouvernments get their ass up to do something finally? That's what I expect from them but well, Most probably don't care as long as those services are from USA and not China even though they can be as dangerous.
