Fuck Facebook, but I must admit that’s a snazzy logo.

Just looks like a scribbled attempt at an @ to me, but to each their own

I mean… isn’t that sort of the point though? It’s supposed to look like an @ symbol that looks like it’s being thread/is a thread.

Even then, I’m not sure what makes that so great. Looks like what someone came up with on a doodle.

I’m just confused why it’s shaped like a 6 to be quite honest

They used the other style of ‘a’ to make the @ symbol look more thread like.

Zuck doesn’t care that he’s making the world worse. Elon actually wants to make the world worse. That’s the difference really

You can choose loud and dangerous, or quiet and more dangerous.

Perhaps. Maybe even probably. But possibly not—it’s rumored to have been in the works for quite some time.
