This shows how bad threads is.
Threads is honestly terrible. There are these asinine little widgets on Instagram that show you threads that people have posted and don’t show you the full one so you click see more and it brings you to the app store. But no one really uses it much, so you see a lot of things being posted with no interaction at all
And they’re doing this…after the election too.
Brain lapses, people.
I sincerely doubt 1 million regular people a day are leaving Twitter.
We’re watching bot accounts be created at scale in real time.
I think “leave” is doing some heavy lifting, but I could see plenty of people creating accounts as the site reaches a large enough user base to attract the general public.
I saw a video recently of somebody talking about how they were posting the same thing on Twitter and Bluesky, and despite having a fraction of the followers on Bluesky, the post there had like 6x the engagement compared to Twitter. As they put it, “The creatives have moved to Bluesky.”
I’ve heard of people having similar experiences on Mastodon as well. Seems like these smaller communities of early adopters tend to simply be more active and pleasant to interact with.
You underestimate the news cycle hitting regular folk who so far didn’t know alternatives existed to twitter.
3 more million needed for Mastodon, Threads and Blue Sky to beat Twitter.
How many does Threads have?
So, you’re asking what the thread count is?
Threads has 275 million.
So basically … ah
Well its not organic at all. I remember it’d create a Threads account for you even if you interacted with a Threads post while logged into Instagram. Kinda shady to boast about such numbers imo.
The “pseudo” federated platform. If it flops they will just tell everyone “federation s*cks” but BlueSky isnt federated at all
Please don’t swear on the internet.
“Sucks” isn’t even a swearword! Are we jst going to strt censoring normal w*rds now?
That’d be fuck*ng stupid.
Or perhaps fucking st*pid
H*y, fuck y*u p*l, m* k*ds ar* *n h*re.
My day is no longer fine
Guarantee 99% of bluesky users have no idea what federation is
Nor would they care if they knew about it.
Most internet users have no idea what it is.
You are probably right here in how news agencies and other competing sites would/might phrase it if BlueSky fails.
Though what bugs me and logically does not make sense (to me) is saying federation is what caused or could cause a site or service to fail.
Its like saying my new shinny website failed because of the Internet, the Internet must then be the problem.
Then federate it.
