Facebook has tried to compete with Twitter in numerous ways over the years, including copying signature Twitter features such as hashtags and trending topics. But now Facebook’s parent company is taking perhaps its biggest swipe at Twitter yet.

People don’t care about principles when it comes to a social media site (or really anything for that matter). They want something easy to use, that everyone is on.
I’m almost certain there’s a first to market FOMO kinda thing happening with influencers/scammers/advertisers. Everyone with that disgusting “grindset” mentality on Instagram just got a blank slate on an entirely new platform with a lot of media attention.
Its happening with every new Twitter replacement. Twitter for all its faults was actually a widely used resource for brands, companies and influencers. Now that it is so erratic they’re all trying to jump on anything with a hint of success to replace Twitter.
Brands and government accounts are going to flock to Threads. They want a place for general announcements that has some consistency in moderation and stability. Musk has largely destroyed that on twitter.
I can see it for those types of accounts. The National Weather Service for example doesn’t want to deal with random tweet limits and pricing changes and all that. All they need is a stable platform that is popular. If Threads can give them that, I can see it taking off. Already it seems to have more hype and activity than any other alternative in the last few months.
I care about following cool people and browsing porn, and I don’t think Instagram is gonna let the latter fly.
I didn’t even think about the porn aspect. You’re probably right. Although I’m sure people are going to test it and see how close Meta will let them get.
