    Why was he hell bent on using the name Threads. Every time I hear it makes me think of the Dragon Riders or Pern. Not messaging app. Fuck Meta hope the real Threads company wins.

      I agree with the last sentence but Threads seems like a completely appropriate name for the service. Online conversations have been called threads for decades

        Right but it could’ve had a nonsense name, like Troods.

          …Troods would have been enough for me to try it out so fair point

        That just makes it too generic to trademark then. Imagine an automaker called “Cars”.

        The name just reminds me of the film. So I just assume that like the film the site is nightmare fuel and avoid it.

      Harper, strike, and soldier, go.
      Free the flame and sear the grasses
      Till the dawning Red Star passes.”

      It makes me think of the apocalyptic nuclear war drama. Quite appropriate.
