  Of course threads would have higher download counts! By now everyone using X already has it installed while threads is a new service so you’d have to install the app to try it. What a brain dead article

  Daily. Active. Users. Do not care about downloads. I don’t care about user count. How many users log in daily, that’s the only metric worth reporting on

    “Threads had 3 app downloads yesterday, easily beating X’s 1” — you’re right, doesn’t sound as sexy 🤔

  People are downloading X?

    The white supremacists are running a campaign to help their elderly (quite a large user base) get digitally literate. You get a free noodling glove and a Substack keychain if you install X and take a 15 minute creative writing course.

  Interesting and all but boy, Threads sucks as an environment. It’s just the worst algorithm and their stance on “political content” is misery.

  Ok new plan: convince Elon to buy Meta, or at least Threads, or at least get a position on their board.

  But seriously, I don’t understand people jumping from one proprietary walled garden to the next. My hope is that it’s a natural selection thing, and each time a platform gets cancelled, a small percentage of the user base will hop to the fediverse, until eventually it’s the preferred destination.

    As long as Meta doesn’t manage to EEE the Fediverse first 🤢
