How did Facebook (aka Meta) aquire the name/domain "threads"? - eviltoast

Isn’t this a very common phrase? Surely, someone already thought about this?

    Isn’t this something else though? Meta’s is .net isn’t it? So even they couldn’t get the .com…

    edit: Indeed it’s nothing to do with Meta, though it seems kinda related. Bit surprised Meta went with the name actually.

      ah ye are right, I briefly checked out .com and it seemed to roughly match

      .net was registered in 1997 so the same roughly still applies
