Absolute crap obviously, because it was a very dumb idea and never even started to gain popularity. People don’t really want to buy a $400 strap-on game console to play a substandard video game where you don’t do anything. A Twitter rip-off was a much better idea for them.

    I just think they shit the bed again with threads, it wasn't fully functional when it was put out. If it's a start up like Lemmy and ran by hobbyists, we're a lot more forgiving.

    It definitely seemed rushed. Not sure why they couldn’t have thrown another 100 engineers and another month or two at it. Seems like an FU at Musk as much as anything, which is fine with me.
