THREADS has rocketed in popularity as the newest social media platform – and Mhairi Black has joined in on the fun.
Black, who has recently announced her intention to stand down as an MP at the next election, revived a tweet from 2010 for her Threads debut.
The retro tweet, written when the MP was 15, simply stated: “Maths is sh*te.”
Black’s first thread gave an update: “Maths is still sh*te.”
Followers were quick to recognise the throwback even creating memes out of the now iconic phrase.
Black has since posted, questioning if the internet is “healing” since she has received trolling from only her own brother and best pal.
She wrote: "Less than 24h on this platform and the only abuse I’ve had is from my brother and best pal. Is … is the internet … healing?!"
The Jouker isn’t too keen on joining the platform, but he has heard The National is having some fun over there if you want to check their profile out …
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
