Forget DMs. No more verified accounts, blue check marks and mentions. And Best of All: No Elon! The Zuck may be (according to Musk) a cuck, (what is he implying??).. but his company META is about to gobble up the little $44 Billion Blue Tweety Bird. (One half of the World’s population 3B/6B) uses a META product: Facebook, Instagram, What’s App.) Whether you like Zuckerberg or not, admit that META IS A MIGHTY FORCE. (All caps: say loudly in a mean voice).
So….get ready to bury the lil’Blue Birdy in a shoebox in the backyard. MIGHTY THREADS IS HERE TO SAVE TO DAY!
And you’d better prepare for the THREADS era! First and foremost (most importantly) you need to learn the new THREADS vernacular.
The CLOTH: this is the screen backdrop for your THREADS to be SEWN into.
A THREAD: just a post of what you want to say. Words, not real thread.
PRICKS & PINS: posting provocatively in order to raise someone’s ire. Pinning keeps the now-enraged one in a “Scab Picking” file.
A STITCH: put together two or more Threads. You can also ANCHOR STITCHES, or keep them at the top of your CLOTH.
APPLIQUÉ : layering one post atop another; or adding surface embellishment to your
BOBBIN: to “bobbin” means you have doubled-down on you post and cannot delete it. Similar to ANCHOR.
DART – a common technique for shaping conversations. A sharply worded THREAD that is necessarily “cutting” in order to fit the situation.
FROGGING – The art of unpicking STITCHES and re-sewing them back into a THREAD. And expecting better results.
GATHER – A way of gathering your followers onto the center of the screen, or CLOTH in order to create the feeling and appearance of fullness and account robustness.
HEM: to finish off your THREAD.. with a pointed and sharp comment. Topic is finished. So shut up.
PLEAT – reinforcing your THREAD by re-typing it immediately. May repeat a PLEAT if necessary to get your pointless point across.
A SEAM: connecting two separate opposing THREADS to agitate for an effective level of outrage.
SEAM RIPPER – TO BE SEAM-RIPPED (SR) is to be blocked from the platform for violating rules of civility for a determined amount of time. Usually one day.
THIMBLE: To be “Thimble” means ability to respond quickly (nimble) and defensively against pricks and pins.
PULLING A THREAD: If observed, don’t.
