A post shared by @jacktalkscontentBlueSky is adding ‘followers only’ to their reply options – currently – everybody, mentioned users, and followed users, which can be combined together with or without users on any or all of the lists you created, (still with me?) or nobody (I don’t get it either).

Frazee gives the reason for this additional option as the possibility of making going viral less intense while reducing ‘content collapse’ which means that cute cat pic has gone past all the feline fans and users are rubbing their eyes or scratching their heads (not their scratching posts) thinking ‘Taylor Swift is looking mighty odd these days’.
I guess you could say this is blue sky thinking.
They do seem to be the one with the handmade outfits while the others compete for the off the peg market.
X replies go to everyone, verified accounts, accounts you follow, accounts you mention, or communities you are a member of.
Threads options are anyone, profiles you follow and mentioned only.
If I’ve confused you (not entirely impossible) or you want the whole enchilada see below.

Meta DM’s have been visited by a pop up this week saying you can use AI in your chat but the cost of doing so is ALL of that chat can be used for AI training. Be careful who you chat to and what you say as AI might eat it up and spit it out somewhere and in some form you would rather it didn’t.
