Threads is wildly feature-incomplete, but there's so much demand for a twitter alternative that this is an embarrassingly one-sided product fight. For a 0.0.1-alpha version to steamroll into the space like this, it's now just a matter of the long goodbye for twitter as it becomes a space where you go to find someone's Threads handle.
I give it 24 hours, tops, until it eclipses the entire Fediverse, and Bluesky becomes an obscure historical footnote.

- asadotzler 3y agoNeither of your predictions are at all surprising or interesting. The fediverse and Bluesky are tiny. It'd be an absolute Joke if FB couldn't double their size in a day or two.
- s3p 3y agoUseless criticism. It didn't seem like they were trying to amaze or surprise anyone with that comment.
- ergocoder 3y agoThis is the boldest prediction of this decade. I still couldn't believe you are right.
