1 year agoIt’s tied to Instagram, and lots of people exchange instagram as a form of contact (which is weird already), so it’s already got huge potential once people find out about it. It’s very possible it supplants Twitter with how that’s going.
Elon didn’t need any extra help running Twitter into the ground, but it’s already too late to put the genie back in the bottle, Threads is already going to take over, and it’s honestly 1 solid update with added features away from absolutely decimating Twitter.
I would’ve preferred more people migrate to Mastadon, but that’s over, any momentum that may have had will be sucked away by Threads until they screw up, hopefully by then Mastadon will be in a better position to capitalize on user dissent.
