Brendel: I can’t explain how fucked up it is that Threads created a more hostile atmosphere to the New York Times than we did. Tony the Tiger brand humping website just beat our asses.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

people keep trying to say bsky has the juice but it truly does not have the proper level of derangement to get there

we have the drama yes but it is very tame in comparison to the real sickos out there

Does the Times actually run their account here? I was under the impression it was just someone reposting posts from other sources but maybe that's not the case, I am not exactly keeping a close watch

Someone has to because it’s verified with the domain name

I feel we are falling down on our civic duty here Shameful that Threads did a better job humiliating them, but they do have numbers over there

It might still be a reposting bot, I don't think I ever saw anything from there here that couldn't just be a thing they have set up to just auto post links.

Yeah they very well may not actually pay attention. But that’s basically bluesky blue check

I've had them muted since they showed up and didn't realize they needed bullying, my bad 😞

I blocked immediately lol

Yup, I guess that's a green light. Go get 'em folks

I think it may have something to do with the fact that Bluesky doesn’t have an algorithm that would force us to see the New York Times’ garbage takes. “Lots of people hated this, maybe you’ll hate it too.”

And a lot of people here would rather just block and move on than engage in any way

all i know is they never say good evening back!

I may have them blocked

i mean at best i imagine it's some low level staffer running the account, I can't believe anyone with any clout actually takes more than the tersest of looks at comments, if at all. still, it's cathartic to vent at them. try it!

Getting dunked on by Toucan Sam will destroy a newspaper

Apparently, they deactivated by accident. They're back online now.

So you're saying we can still be the first to make them quit?

I’m going to doubt it was an accident and they are trying to save face.

"by accident"="had to go have a good cry in the restroom"

Oh my God, it’s no joke. Every single post they have is being torn apart. I haven’t seen mass attacks like this since my days of taking over conspiracy groups on Facebook. it’s brutal and glorious

I never really got into such reindeer games, but in this case I see the virtue in it. It should serve as a reminder that legacy msm holds power over our politics in the same way Israel does. Because some wealthy people have money in it. We don’t need them and we have the resources to free us

Plus it’s one thing for people here to shit talk but don’t they have to do it with their actual names on threads? Credit where credit is due.

Oh my God, do they? I mean I use my real name everywhere because I’m a self-employed house painter. Nobody gives a fuck what I say. But most people are professionals.

I thought that was one of the annoying things about threads - since it’s through Facebook, you have to use your FB name.

You’re not basking in the joy of being a part of the META-verse?

I started checking FB more to keep up with family. But the metaverse is not for me.

we really thought we had the juice gotta step up our game

It’s embarrassing tbh

joe and the juice, a danish cafe chain btw

I applaud them. Should I give in & use my Threats account?

This is typo but I feel it’s perfect given the circumstances

Maybe this will help bsky.app/profile/numb...

NYT has gone full David Duke archive.is/zDuRR

😂😭

Tbf with the amount if furries on this platform if there’s any Tony the Tiger-humping happening I feel like it’s here…

Damn. Never felt like such a loser before.

poor new york times, maybe if they said good evening back to people they would get more respect

only if they say it in victor price’s voice

I’m convinced NYT has never opened their Bsky mentions. It’s the only explanation for why they haven’t spontaneously combusted from our collective plasma-hot wrath.

Brendel is right. We are the legacy of the greatest haters on twitter, and we cannot allow threads to surpass us. I'm going to go cut Tom Nichols' heart out and eat it.

[looking in the mirror] we have GOT to get more hostile to brands

Hey, the days not over yet. I bet we can get enough people asking @nytimes.com why they are not covering Trumps alleged child rapes with as much vigor as they should be, for example.

I think we are now obligated to commit ritualistic seppuku in shame, I’m afraid.

I don't want the @nytimes.com to be gone, I want them to not be stenographers & sycophants

Look I've been dragging their ass for two weeks whenever I could, the rest of y'all need to step it up

Quantity not quality

this is really making me ashamed of not bullying the nyt more here

my fault for blocking them, sorry Chief
