    Not sure why anyone wanted a second twitter that’s still made by a big-tech

        I don’t understand why someone would choose threads over mastadon, where they could have all the dunking with none of the enshittening.

          It’s still too complicated for the layperson to have to navigate. Anything beyond “I have one login at one site that everyone else has” is too much for most.

            It’s a mix between heard mentally (well, all my friends are on it) and FOMO (what are they saying about me over there?)

          Nobody chose threads. It just got shoved down their throats.

          Also, Mastadon doesn’t have the same marketing these companies do.

      I’d be keen to give it a go if it were legitimately anyone else besides Facebook. Would have even tried it if Microsoft made a random Twitter clone

      Well, shareholders, employees and advertisers, wanted it to make money on the users. Even if only 5% users remain, that’s still better than the current interest rates after investment fund’s fees.

      Facebook/Instagram users wanted to check it out, because why not, creating an account was just a couple clicks.

      Everyone else… they didn’t, and from the looks of it, they still don’t.

    • Zuck wanted it, and literally nobody else. They’re going to need to implement ActivityPub just so every blue checkmark on earth can launch their own social network where they are the only users.
