work insight: Threads got more official consideration by our social teams this week than any previous Twitter competitor has

Enough that we've been encouraged to secure handles.

Pros: ease of use, rapid adoption by millions of users, many brands are adopting it as well

Cons: the numbers may be inflated by existing IG users who simply downloaded the app, and in its current form it lacks certain features that would make it a complete Twitter replacement.

Responses:

I don't understand how you launch this without a web app or desktop app for Windows. And for those reasons, I'm partially out. -- nm - Max Jul 7, 20:22 1
- because they already planted whatever underlying ap stuff ...or its just fb/msg with a new skin (msg is supposed to be malware but... - zeitgeist Jul 7, 21:16
I want a twitter replacement as much as anyone does but the whole "live by the algorithm, die by the algorithm" nature of the timeline is a deal - mandy on home machine Jul 7, 20:13 10
- it’s how Facebook has always worked but I think they’ll eventually make it personalized (apparently there is a way to view follows only but it’s not - hollywood big shot Jul 7, 20:32 1
  - it’s not great when on day four, the head is already saying “yeah but you’re not coming to Threads for ‘news’ right?” -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 7, 20:47
- It was the easiest bag EVER but they were like “no, we need more data and will just throw random shit at you. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 20:17 6
  - Mastodon’s too confusing. Blue Sky is too stingy with invites. Hive seemed like they had something but then shut down for a few weeks. - Tim Jul 7, 20:19 5
    - you're exactly correct. I'll take your damn ads. just give me a chronological timeline and prioritize my friends. - mandy on home machine Jul 7, 20:26
    - There's a theory that mastodon is only confusing because nerds keep trying to explain everything in too much detail. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 20:24 3
      - I don't get about mastodon how to find things I like and why my server matters. can I see everything or no? should I be on a different server? why? - mandy on home machine Jul 7, 20:27 2
        
        If I tried to explain it, I would only make it sound more complex than it actually is. Which happens when I try to explain anything. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 20:29 1
        
        (But yes, the search is dumb) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 20:31
- Same and I also don't want it run by such an evil company. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 20:17
It will drown under the weight of its own success as the immoderable masses of users who've flooded it flop everywhere like rabid sealions -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 20:01
it will improve (quickly one hopes). Twitter will be functionally dead in less than a month -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 7, 19:59
