So the lowest bar possibly imaginable?
- tmaly 2y agoI downloaded threads when it came out, but I only used it once.
- johnchristopher 2y agoReally ? Right in front of my lemmy username ?
- jrs235 2y agoI can think of a "Truthier" "social network/platform" that is lower than Threads...
- peanuty1 2y agoTrumpet (AKA Truth Social)?
- enjaydee 2y agoI 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
- glenstein 2y agoYeah, 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.
- ks2048 2y agoI'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.
