Except threads already has 4x more users than mastadon.
That’s because Threads’ entire userbase is baked into an app that almost everyone already has. It says absolutely nothing about the quality or featureset of the app, much less scalability and actual use.
From personal use, I can tell you that the featureset is just not there. You can’t even sort by followed accounts only, or get chronological updates. It’s a hot turd sandwich.
All I think of when I see the name, apart from Meta and Zuchbot 3000, is nuclear war and a woman pissing herself. Still undecided as to which is worse.
Zuchbot 3000
Haha, that’s a good one xD
WTF is threads?
Zucks poor attempt to connect his Meta bullshit with the fediverse. It’s desired to be a Twitter replacement which uses the ActivityPub-Protocol and therefore is able to communicate with fediverse instances (which use the same protocol). So basically it’s the same as Mastodon, just with Zucks closed source corporate crap.
Which is a way I’m assuming to data mine every user on the fediverse. Safe to say that anyone that connects to the fediverse via Threads will essentially expose all Non Threads user to the Meta data miners?
It’s pretty clever, though, isn’t it? On Zuckerberg’s part.
