While Threads-related headlines have focused on its big traffic drops, Meta’s CEO says its Twitter alternative is a ‘compelling long-term opportunity.’
Actually, everything Meta is terrible.
Fuck off Mark.
Exactly. Zuckerberg is a POS. Folks are only talking about this because X/Twitter is such a dumpster fire, not because Threads is good.
What’s sad is that people aren’t talking about Mastodon nearly as much as they are talking about Threads and X. It just doesn’t seem to get much publicity outside of the fediverse.
well, why would people who use Fediverse options talk about using those options on non-Fediverse platforms? Other than the occasional “hey I use Mastodon and it’s great.” Not the kind of thing you’d talk about all the time.
I can understand why people wouldn’t specifically talk about the fediverse on other sites. It just seems like there is a lot of coverage of X and Meta in the news, but there doesn’t seem to have been even a passing mention of fediverse sites in most of what I’ve seen. I guess the more established social media sites are still a lot more significant than fediverse alternatives though.
There is one undeniable non-terribleness in Threads - it is not Xitter.
Yep, apart from Oculus. Makes sim racing 🤌for the money, I haven’t looked at FB for a decade. Awful.
Strong “my mum says I’m handsome” vibes.
A remainder everyone with a Instagram account that clicked on the @ logo counts as an active user
press X to doubt
Is the
Xa pun?It’s a reference to LA Noire
I’m well aware, but in this context it gets a bit of double meaning
Press mastodon to doubt
I mean. Until now I thought that Threads was a shitty copy of a shittier dying social, but now that his actual owner said otherwise i have to belive him, right?
It’s all bots.
Always has been.
“Great” in the way that Metaverse was great, or this the real sort of great, as in “free beer” great?
99.5 million of whom are bots
Not everything has to have a billion user
Let’s see if they can accept it
Is it weird that I think of an ouroboros every time I see the Threads logo?
No
We all know them numbers are inflated, whats the number of daily active users not visiting Threads via FB activity?
