And of the remaining 50%, 49.9% seems to be coming from Temu.

Threads already said they don't want it to be a place for breaking news or angry discourse. It's like walking into a store that has a 'no, shirt, no shoes, no sale' sign without a short & shoes and being surprised when you are refused service.

Interesting take given Facebook is a cesspit, and Instagram is where the most shallow obnoxious individuals dwell.

Yeah, I'm 100% skeptical especially since they seemed stop talking about the fediverse integration.

He's not married to either platform and they're just tools that provide a service. He'll use whatever one that lets him do his job better. Ludwig talks about how he wants to be more than just another distraction machine and that while Threads might be cool now while there's not monetization, there's no guarantee it'll stay good forever once they start to monetize. Asomngold goes into the good things about Twitter and the bad things about Twitter, and also about Threads. He also gives general life advice about how to manage social media to not go insane, and how to use moderation tools to your advantage.

But I'm not sure why you need to listen to some hour long diatribe by some steamer to know that.
- Simply don't use these trash services.
- If you must, just stick to groups for things you are interested in. Ideally just hobbies and the like.
- If you're promoting a business; just post and don't bother reading the reactions.

Zuck would sell his own mother to the CIA to make more money, this is just a marketing slogan and nothing more. Threads will become whatever brings more victims to spy on, simple as that

Spam attacks have picked up so we're going to have to get tighter on things like rate limits, which is going to mean more unintentionally limiting active people (false positives). If you get caught up those protections let us know.

But that's what Twitter is for and that's what also any alternative to Twitter should be for as well
It's a dealbreaker for me

Google search volume does not equate to activity.
Beyond that, why are you linking to the twitter account of an unabashed alt-right conspiracy theorist?

He came up on my timeline and I thought it might be worth a look. I find him obnoxious, tbh.

Because Mastodon admins said they’d block Threads. Because Meta wouldn’t let them read DMs, because that’s the only reason those creeps are admins in the first place.

Musk's app reinstates user who posted 'child exploitation photos'
The user was temporarily suspended early Wednesday morning. His account was back later that day.

This will surely help get those advertisers back.
Apparently the QAnon guy posted stills from an infamous snuff video featuring an 18 month old. Banned for a day before Elon re-instated him.

Meta made a big mistake launching Threads will zero features.
If you can't search topics and you can't see trends... what the fuck is the point?
It may look like twitter... but it isn't even close. Twitter took off because there is utility to it. Threads is just random jibberish thrown at you... and absolutely no way to find what you want.

Well he'd have a lot more data to collect if people wanted to use the product...

“Twitter is more welcome to regurgitated conspiracy clickbait” is quite the recommendation.

Threads' user base has plummeted more than 80%. Meta's app ended July with just 8 million daily active users.
The number of Threads users who visit the platform daily dropped from 44 million at its peak to 8 million at the end of July, according to Sensor Tower data.

Not surprised, its literally unfinished. It was never going to kill Twitter overnight.
The rushed rollout was to see if they could get people to sign up in the event of Elon screwing the pooch, and to send a direct signal to him that his platform wasn't untouchable.
It worked, and Elon behvaoir from that time period proves it.
Whether or not they are gonna capitalize remains to be seen.

I love how all these people said they were going to go to Threads a couple of weeks ago and now they're back on Twitter. lmao.Threads' user base has plummeted more than 80%. Meta's app ended July with just 8 million daily active users.

Threads Has Lost More Than 80% of Its Daily Active Users
Two separate data analysis firms say the Twitter killer from Instagram has unraveled even as Meta has rushed to add highly requested features.

Turns out rushing to release an unfinished product because you actually believed the media screeching about Elon 24/7 instead of using your own brain wasn't a great strategy after all, Zuck.

So now Zuck is playing 4D chess?
We got proof of this theory, or just fanfic?
Genuinely curious, no disrespect.

I didnt say he's playing 4d chess at all.
Hes not even playing 1d chess. He striaght up admitted he dropped threads early to capitalize on the trend and see what would happen. Hes basically focus testing.
Elon reaction was Elon being elon.
