It'll be fine. They're in it for the long game.
Elon keeps Eloning, so inevitably there will be more controversies that make users look for something else, and Threads will be there for them.
- rewmie 3y ago> Elon keeps Eloning Elon keeps regressing Twitter, and Threads keeps progressing. It ceased to be a matter of "if", and it's now a "when". Also, Threads is still not available in some countries.
- gaganyaan 3y agoBut also the Fediverse will be there for them. Yeah some people like their walled gardens, but with orgs like the BBC setting up their own Mastodon instances, Threads getting the refugees from Twitter isn't a given.
- pornel 3y agoI think they attract different audiences. Threads is just Instagram with text above, instead of below, pictures. It is more pop-culture oriented, and has all the big celebs and brands (way more than the few dipping toes in Fediverse). It's so far also a more direct Twitter replacement — everyone just signs up in one place, and nobody hears "well actually" about missing replies or non-working follow buttons (I expect it will be a mess if they add federation).
