I’d argue that the initial sign up week people should not be classified as “daily active users” Lots of people will check something out when it launches, I’d only start measuring actual usage after a month or two.
But shareholders want big numbers.
And 80 percent of over 100 million users is still 20-30m active users.
Threads is on track to earn the title of “most actively dropped social network”.
I signed up to it from instagram to track my favorite epidemiologists and h5n1 only to discover it has no hashtag system to look up trending topics and most of my favorite epidemiologists aren’t even on it. So it’s worthless for even following COVID, avian flu, and probably every other news topic.
I thought it was explicitly anti-news and politics?
Ah well that would be why it’s completely pointless to me. Since all science is politicized now, I guess there is no reason to use it.
Any downfall of Meta (former Facebook ) is a victory for FOSS community, internet and mankind as a whole. One of the heads of the Hydra Big Tech.
inb4 they federate and tell their investors all the fediverse users are theirs
I’m torn on this one. I want users to migrate to FOSS platforms but at the same time Threads is the best near term solution to drain Twitter users. In a perfect world, I would like the skinheads to stay on Twitter, the attention seeking people to go to threads, and the normal folk to hit Lemmy/Kbin.
Normal folk to hit Lemmy
The “normal folk” are the lowest common denominators that turn a fun, hobbiest-centric platform into what Reddit and Facebook and Twitter have become.
Give me the freaks and geeks instead; they’re the cooler, wiser, less hate-filled people.
At least for me, micro blogging serves very different needs than forums. I don’t see them as so interchangeable that Twitter people flock to kbin/Lemmy.
Isn’t mastodon the federated microblogging replacement? Lemmy & kbin are the forum/news aggregator replacement instead, correct?
We need another feeble attempt by a big corporation to splinter then even further.
must be sort of a wake up for all of the platform owners to see the user base be so fluid like that… like any of them could get flushed down a toilet at any moment…
