    For a simple Twitter clone it has way to much hype. It tastes a lot like Google+ (RIP)

      Well, let’s be real: it’s caught on way better than Google+ and is already pretty mainstream with lots of people flocking over in need for a Twitter replacement. Google+ entered into a space that was saturated by Facebook with very little extra value (or none at all) when switching.

      The most and perhaps only important thing is it is not helmed by Elon Musk. I’ll keep using it as long as that’s the case.

      Yeah but if google+ happened now it’s so better.

      Twitter is on its knees and the Google userbase is more cohesive than ever.

        WireMin is similar to Twitter, but its decentralized structure ensures that there is no censorship and no risk of user data being stolen. Just Google it for more info.

          It says it’s all about free speech. Not a nesting ground for right wing extremists I hope?

          I already have mastodon but always happy to explore new to me options.

      He already has everything, check the Instagram specs. Threads is nothing new in that regard.

    Pretty funny that the Windows ME one has the windows logo in the bin. They knew from the start it was a flop

      My first thought looking at this meme was that Windows uses the “recycling bin” OS X uses the trash. My brain picking problems with jokes online… oh how far I have fallen

    I miss the awesome Windows 95 Plus! High color version. It was way prettier than the Windows 98 high color version that is on the pic.

    This illustration is missing Twitter as well, it is not a phase, I’d say it is a ramification together with Threads.

    Pretty impressive they got so many people to sign up with a logo that looks like a kid scrawled it when he was bored in class

      What you got against Windows 2000?

      Was incredibly stable and quick when compared to 95 and 98
