I’m more disgusted and disappointed with humanity than surprised.
There’s been a lot of discussion on here lately about the flaws of federated social media, but you know what the biggest one is? No marketing to point out to all these dipshits that there’s more to the Internet than Zuckerberg’s bullshit.
Is it really so surprising? They have the entire Instagram userbase to feed off of. All the Instagram users have to do is open Threads and they are already a user. The userbase was already there, Meta just had to activate it.
I think for this same reason Threads probably will stick around. Especially with the way Twitter is going. Can’t say I’ll be joining in on the fun though
It doesn’t seem surprising to me at all that <3% of Instagram’s monthly active users (or <6% of their daily active users) were curious enough to go through just a couple of clicks to see what it was about.
That is utterly crazy. I was not expecting this.

People who use Twitter have been desperate for an alternative. Surprised it took one of the big corps this long to throw their hat in the ring, tbh.
