Threads is on track to earn the title of “most actively dropped social network”.
I signed up to it from instagram to track my favorite epidemiologists and h5n1 only to discover it has no hashtag system to look up trending topics and most of my favorite epidemiologists aren’t even on it. So it’s worthless for even following COVID, avian flu, and probably every other news topic.
I thought it was explicitly anti-news and politics?
Ah well that would be why it’s completely pointless to me. Since all science is politicized now, I guess there is no reason to use it.
Being attached to Instagram is really the only reason it took off imo. Of course all the normal Insta users are going to at least try it out because it’s so “easy” to sign up.
must be sort of a wake up for all of the platform owners to see the user base be so fluid like that… like any of them could get flushed down a toilet at any moment…
Where do they get their data from? I doubt them. So does Gruber. https://daringfireball.net/2023/08/whats_the_deal_with_sensor_tower
I’d argue that the initial sign up week people should not be classified as “daily active users” Lots of people will check something out when it launches, I’d only start measuring actual usage after a month or two.
