Mastodon is not available at launch, but they're going to make it available. It's a PR play because it doesn't people still want to use like the official main app and Mastodon still way too confusing for most people. This week on waveform, of course, we will probably talk more about these social media things as they grow and expand and evolve. We will now attempt to answer the questions that Adam asked at the beginning.
This was a crazy week for social media apps, but first the gang talks about the Zenfone 10 now that Andrew has had a chance to use it for a week or two. Then they talk about YouTube testing and Twitter implementing a (temporary?) rate limit on the same Reddit officially started charging for its API. After that, it's all about Threads. The new Twitter-clone that that Meta just launched which Marques had early access to for the last few days. He gives his first impressions on the app and talks about what makes it interesting before we end it all with some trivia. Follow us on Threads if you have the app! Links below.
