Let's be honest about what Threads has.
1. A lot of Instagram users who had an extremely low barrier to entry, which could mean a low intention to post.
2. Little organic content.
3. Influencers and bots wanting to be "First!".
4. The people hyping it are almost exclusively using it to hate on Musk. Not Twitter, but Musk. Very few people are actually excited about giving Meta more data.
I don't user any of this garbage so I don't know or care. But I think it's entirely reasonable to acknowledge that the people on Mastadon want to post and use it, and that bots basically have no interest. It's small, but actually organic content.
- tgv 3y agoLet's be honest about what Mastodon has: a puny bit of rather nerdy content, most of it available elsewhere. Threads does not need it. May the two worlds stay separated forever.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoYes, but it's real. Which is something that is far more valuable than what exists on the rest of social medias today.

- dylan604 3y ago>and that bots basically have no interest. This is just simple minded thinking. Of course a bot doesn't care, but it's owners absolutely do care. If you think bots will not infect Mastodon, you're seriously limiting your critical thinking skills.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoWait, did you think I was writing that the programs care? I'm sorry, I didn't think that was a distinction that needed to be made.
