Not only is Twitter suffering cause of this, I've also not joined Threads.

A double victory.

It will be pretty funny if a lot of young people migrate to Threads after bashing how being on Facebook is for old people.

Yeah, I did think about that when I made my post.

However, I feel like people put up some mental block on the connection between IG and FB, perhaps because IG has been around for so long. Threads is literally Zuck's newest thing, so there's no real way for people escaping Twitter to escape that fact.

I'm glad there is an alternative that is actually catching on. Twitter seems to just get worse by the day.

Sucks that it had to be yet another Mark Zuckerberg's app though. Dude already has two of the biggest social media apps.

I hope twitter dies, but also the numbers are inflated with threads because they're auto-creating accounts using existing instagram accounts.

I had to download the app and connect my accounts, it wasn't automatically made for me tho, like I had to do it manually.

I hate to say it, but I would much rather Zuck has a monopoly on social media influence than let ElMo continue to do as he pleases. Never seen a billionaire so bereft of self-awareness. I hate Musk more than I hate Zuck, so Threads is a-okay with me for now.

The problem with Threads is that it's not good to use. Like, if I, as a baseball fan, wanted to see people posting about the home run derby right now, there's just no way to guarantee that. But I might see their posts pop up out of context sometime tomorrow.

Pretty sure that's not the case. It gave me the option to follow everyone I had on Instagram, but some definitely don't exist on threads yet.

It seems like there are no search options other than to look up accounts, which is bizarre. I'm going to hold of on posting anything that isn't a direct reply since otherwise it's probably just going to be tossed out into the void with no way for people to discover it.

You need to be curating your content, start following MLB pages and such, and you'll see it. I do hope they improve the platform overall tho of course. There is always room for improvement.

no, people have to download and sign up for threads independently of ig. you don't just have a threads account with your ig account, you have to specifically download the app and sign up for it

I can't help but wonder if Musk would have grown into a better man if he'd had received any of the many ass kickings he's earned over the years. It's too late for him to develop into anything resembling a better man, but hopefully he'll start catching a string of civil ass kickings in court.
