> overtaking Threads

So the lowest bar possibly imaginable?

ks2048 18 hours ago | parent | next [-]

I've fallen for the Threads-links shown in Instagram. Obviously the instagram connection is what gave them a great start at a user-base. But, everytime I try to use Threads, something seems off (mainly see lame, boring, engagement-bait). Bluesky seems different and better. Also a much better story in-terms of open data, open protocol, etc.

I don't think it's that low of a bar. Threads benefited from easy account creation and promotion from Instagram (2b MAU?)

Bluesky started from word of mouth invite only

Yeah, getting anywhere near what the major tech companies are capable of should be understood as a triumph.

Does anyone remember now Spoutible? Substack Notes? How about Spill, Hive, or Post? Being even with in anything approximating striking distance of Threads would have been a triumph for any of them.

I can think of a "Truthier" "social network/platform" that is lower than Threads...

I downloaded threads when it came out, but I only used it once.
