💬 What do you think of Threads, Meta’s new Twitter Alternative?

One thing Threads done so so well, so to not let their users feel lonely with 0 followers.

Threads isn't a Twitter clone or killer. It's predicated on a completely new paradigm: built on Instagram (with BYO username import fresh out of the box), based in Meta's ecosystem (monopolistic network effect), and fediverse-friendly (however this plays out remains to be seen). This is exciting. Having said this, you know what to do: https://www.threads.net/@sfali789

I think it will be much better than. Twitter

Feels very much like Twitter right now but with no hashtags. I like observing the creativity people are using to find their people.

It won't kill Twitter but it will break its monopoly

I'm not sure Threads will become some sort of the real Twitter alternative, just a new hype topic :)

I think instead of being a replacement for Twitter, it would end up being replacement for FB (if successful). Twitter's main benefit is it's largely being anonymous and typically you don't have all your acquaintances following you.

I think X users will not migrate to Instagram to use a Twitter-like platform (man what a wild thing to say!) Because they already have that. Instagram users will not utilize Threads cause they were not looking for such a medium in the first place I think the initial momentum definitely helped Meta to gain attention (mostly from Twitter users themselves) Both segments went back to their initial roots. X users went back to X and Instagram users went back to Instagram, no one really stayed on Threads.

Sounds like a rehash. It might go well for some time due to the hype. But it'd be hard to experience steep growth beyond a time without any innovation that attracts people. Read More
