@orphancripler 10 месяцев назад

Censorship was the main reason why I refused to even install it, I like using Facebook but the censoring is horrible, is not "You ain't allowed to be racist" level, it goes above and beyond, I got banned once from Facebook by pointing out at someone's nationality because fb deemed it as harassment. Even if threads gets all of Twitter features and more, there will be no reason to use it due to the censorship.

My assumption is that many users of the Thread app created their accounts only because of the hype and the fear of missing out. They didn't really enjoyed the app. They just wanted to try it out because it's a new thing. Problem is, because the app is boring, the users just simply stopped using it.

I think Threads is just something that a huge amount of existing Facebook and Instagram and Twitter users would think of joining, but it will also not retain use simply for being so many users who may not know what they want and may not understand and just want to explore options. Why do people want to say it is such a big deal that users died off early on without giving any comparison to other social media that people easily learned about upon release?

There’s a difference between a trend and something that has solidified itself in society as a form of communication. Thread was a trend. The trend is over. Plain and simple that’s how things are these days. For something to stay you have to make something that has never been seen or used in Tech communication by the public. It’s getting harder and harder to do With apps. Twitter (soon X) is the social media standard. This was a major WIN for Elon musk in his position in the future of technology. Believe it or not. They should not have sold that app. They most likely did it due to all the controversy… that app will be worth more than money can buy in the future of human communication. This is not an exaggeration.
