wondering what these icons mean, the app is called Threads so I wonder if they are focusing on the ability to spit threads.

@liaizon whild guesses:
top left: stone thrown into water
top right: a child sliding down a slide
bottom left: a sword fight
bottom right: a ball bouncing of the ground

Ok now I would like to be enlightened what any of this might have to do with Threads.

@liaizon If the first one means federated timeline I'm going to laugh so hard

Instagram Threads contains the text "This website might contain harmful software that is designed to steal information such as your passwords, credit card details and more." and I don't disagree

"If you have a public profile, people on or off %1$s can follow you at any time."

another clue as to it being federated outward early on.

Jean-Marc Denis, Design director at Meta, Messenger, Instagram (and I am guessing Threads) posting anti-protest rhetoric and then announcing Threads as his next post...

[Meta’s decision to launch Threads pits it against other companies also trying to lure users away from Twitter with alternative social networks.

Mastodon’s open-source decentralized model, which was founded seven years ago, saw a large influx of new users in the immediate aftermath of Musk’s Twitter takeover.]

@liaizon that's odd, all the threads[.]net links show up as blank pages for me

Christin White replied to wakest

@liaizon that’s an awfully shiny splash page (for an awfully icky network).

@liaizon Upper left looks like 'boost'; upper right is down vote. Lower left - ambiguous (scissors cut, but in this context?); lower right, upvote.

@liaizon
Normally, I'd be requesting #AltText but from replies and from what I can see I conclude that this is a rare case where I can't imagine what might be usefully said. Perhaps "four black on white symbols using thick black lines with curved ends and black balls".
