Cherry Blossoms quick-sketch — For the past few days the Threads social-media app/website has made it so that if you tag a Threads post "Cherry Blossoms", it would give the tag a "cherry blossom-like" color scheme, and if people hit Like on the post a cherry blossom animation would show on the heart icon. It was enough to motivate me to do a quick cherry blossom digital sketch.

And since I've already made the drawing, might as well share it elsewhere and not just on Threads or Instagram...

Why I think Threads vs. BlueSky vs. Mastodon shouldn't be painted as a "zero-sum" game

Why does it have to be a “zero-sum game” between Threads, BlueSky, and Mastodon? …The obvius answer of course is: No, it doesn't.

It can even include Twitter, this equation. At least possibly Twitter as a brand-name, perhaps after Elon and the crypto-bros have thoroughly gutted Twitter out of all socioeconomic value down into a hollowed-out corpse.

Funny-weird question: is it Elon that is gutting out Twitter, or is it Twitter that is gutting out Elon? (And gutting out Elon's own  personal wealth & equity, at that?)

Hmm. 🤔

*Reposted & expanded upon from a Threads um, thread I made a few days ago.

Somewhat “inspired” by some people on Threads, BlueSky, Twitter, and Mastodon lately somewhat suggesting that fans of each service should “hate” fans of the other services. Which is kind of dumb in a zero-sum-game kind of way I think.
