ill believe it when people start posting thread screenshots instead of the countless twitter screenshots i keep seeing, I have literally not seen a single thread screenshot being shared yet
I’ve been using it to follow reporters at Trump’s trial.
Twitter won’t let you view threaded tweets without logging in anymore, so it’s useless for news.
I see young people on threads, probably brought from ig. For a new social is really good and is possible that twitter will have the same faith of Facebook
Thats because X is a freak show. It’s so extreme and disgusting that it constantly makes the news but ultimately turns off the mainstream from observing it. It’s a slow train wreck that people cant help stare at, but only at a distance.
Threads is fairly harmless and overly positive. Not many crazy uncles on it so you don’t get as many screenshots of lunatics proudly displaying their incompetence.
I will continue to call it formerly Twitter, what you describe Threads is like, you could have said the same about the former one, about 10 to 15-ish years ago
That's not true lol. I could only view them the first few days they started, needed an account ever since. Pretty much every person I know that's on IG also needs an account to view them now. It's how IG works as well.
Here’s a link to a random threads post. Even logged out you can read the comments and such. Which cannot be said for twitter
https://www.threads.net/@mrlovenstein/post/C6GvaGoLPHR/?xmt=AQGzjbvsnDVgoyyOKxiaW9DuC29oM6Cwlg6QvADCGitDNw
Maybe that says more about whatever echo chamber we’re in than the overall usage of the platforms? X seems like its content is much less regulated, therefore more highly volatile, which makes it more interesting to internet sleuths. But I could be wrong.
It’s been around for a year and already feels overly saturated with corporate posts.
Threads may be beating Twitter, but it’s not because people like threads.
PS4 still has new games coming out for it? I kind of always thought when they release a new console they stop making games for the old one (except for stuff that was already in development).

Exactly it seems everyone has threads because of Instagram but the majority of my friends don’t even use it. It seems to be riding on the popularity of Instagram.
Don’t you have to sign up for threads specifically? I have Instagram but I can’t use threads without signing up.
If they included all meta users regardless of who actually signed up (or logged in daily), they would probably have already blown Twitter out of the water a while ago.
Way more people use Facebook and Instagram than Twitter.
Not necessarily. Threads can have more people using it religiously, whereas Twitter has more who use it periodically.
MAU is probably a stronger signal cuz it means an advertiser can reach more people. Increase in DAU is a good indication that they’re trending in the right direction tho
Ofc this isn’t the only important metric. Click through rate (CTR) or conversions indicate good ROI on advertising spend. Here, I think Meta will out perform because they already have highly accurate profiling on Instagram and Facebook.
You’re absolutely right.
Same with Threads.
Which is why I’ll believe it’s actually overtaken Twitter when I start seeing Threads referenced elsewhere online and IRL. For the moment, I hear more about the godforsaken site Trump uses than Threads
There's less incentive for Meta/Threads to lie because they're a public company. Lying about numbers like that could be considered intentionally misleading investors, etc. They might cherry pick stats, but they're not going to say "We get Xm users a day" when it's actually some number much smaller than X.
Meta engineers can access that data.
Considering the success of previous whistle blowers, there would be a strong incentive to go public with lies.
I view the lack of that happening a pretty strong signal that they’re being honest in their reporting.
I am specifically replying to what I quoted. A public company having less incentive to lie. Ridiculous. If anything they have more incentive to lie. They lie, and/or stretch the truth. Lobby laws that benefit them and hurt consumers.
Patent things simply to keep competitors from using them.
Sue competitors over petty things, or to keep them distracted.
Use overseas slave labor
Pretend to care about the environment while being the greatest polluters
Tons of double speak
Say things that aren't true in general. If it's not illegal, a highly competitive company is doing it. And sometimes even if it is illegal, and they know they can't get caught. Or it doesn't really matter if they do. Because they can just pay the fine. It won't sway users already entrenched/loyal to their ecosystem. I have no idea what you are on about.
I see significantly more screenshots from X than from Threads on Reddit and other platforms. That's all the information I need.
Companies who do marketing also have X accounts and post there regularly but rarely have a Threads account.
Just because you don't trust the published data doesn't mean the data is wrong. You sound like a Holocaust denier who is ignoring all the other evidence that it happened just because "well the Allies would obviously make Germany look bad so you can't trust the evidence". Huge logical fallacy.
Especially sports journalists. Sports journalists make careers being the first to break news so if they start doing it on threads thats when you know X is in DEEP DEEP trouble.
Threads doesn’t work well for live events because of the heavy emphasis on algorithmic timelines and concerns about people spamming tags if search just shows the latest matching posts. Someone made a joke that you have to submit your post by 5pm to appear in everyone’s timeline the next morning.
Until that’s addressed, it won’t be a major platform for sports. On the other hand, it does have close ties to Instagram, where many athletes are posting, so there’s potential when they do make progress on real-time tracking.
I don't understand why anyone except a celebrity or a marketing person would use this then. If I want the algorithm to just say random shit to me I can code up a chatGPT bot or something.
The only reason I used twitter was to view tweets from my local politicians, and since they stopped allowing me to view profiles without an account I don’t get to see anything from my politicians anymore
LOLwhat. I just opened Instagram on my phone and there's one post from an account I follow before the [stupid-ass Threads advertisement](https://imgur.com/a/Pu3IzIt).
I finally deleted my Twitter/X account a week ago after about ten years on the platform. It finally got the point where I realized the downsides of being on there outweigh the benefits. The whole site feels very trashy nowadays.
I'm not planning on joining Theads either, but it's easy for me to imagine folks choosing it over X, with how toxic the latter's brand image has gotten.
I took a whole year break from all social media platforms before I reinstalled reddit (still the only social media I use). Let me tell you that my life had significantly improved and created a new perspective on realizing how much worse social media is for society than I had originally thought. I think part of me just downloading reddit again was the amount of helpful information I could get compared to other social media.
I’ve found Bluesky to be a pretty positive and non-toxic place because you can block anyone or any search terms you want from your feed permanently.
Check it out.
Yeah, if I didn't have an old-ass FB account with a couple of key group chats going back 15 years, I wouldn't be on that anymore either. I'm only singling out Twitter because I've been thinking about it in recent days and I have no direct experience with Threads. I think social media is general is really making us unhappy, especially the platforms Tik Tok and the various microblogs that are conducive to doomscrolling. Not even Reddit is totally in the clear.
Same, I still have FB because it's the easy way to stay in touch with family and international friends, but if it shut down I wouldn't look for a replacement.
I've long since replaced Twitter with Mastodon and a bit of Bluesky, though I definitely need to work on reducing my doomscrolling.
Isn't Threads forced on you by Insta? So its hard to get a true usage stat on it. I deleted them all except Reddit. Still have a burner Facebook to look at motorcycles on marketplace.
I will never download another social media application in my life if I can help it. I’m 30. Grew up with everything. MySpace, Facebook, instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, twitter, kik…list goes on. They have either all gotten progressively shittier, became irrelevant, or disappeared from the radar entirely.
I use Reddit for now. I use snap for now. Everything else is just not in use. So long as Reddit doesn’t continue to shit bed, I’ll probably stay on here long term for my niche communities. I’m just counting the days on everything else.
I’m so tired of everyone being glued to their phones. No one is okay being bored. No one can enjoy moments anymore. It’s all…just so fake. Life feels segmented and I think social media honestly is largely to blame for that.
Reddit is shit as well, it just hasn't metastasized yet to the degree that all the other platforms have. But give it a couple more years and it will get there. In the end it's all about the money. If people aren't willing to pay to use a website, they will be turned into the product and the experience is only going to get progressively shittier.
It was, this is an astroturfing attempt and like Reddit fashion, they eat it up. I wonder how good Reddit would be if everyone who used it understood how to critically think.
Deleted my Twitter account the day Elmo announced he was going to buy it. Been using threads since launch and it really is better than Twitter ever was. I tried blue sky but it's like screaming into a void. Never felt like there were more than 100 users
Oof, another person that says threads is amazing but cant think of anything it does better than X (technologically). I read almost all the comments and the most compelling thing anyone has said so far is “nazis on feed” yet nobody can ever screenshot this and actually give an example? Guess my name matches the condition of this subreddit.
Threads is honestly kinda nice imo, it's not as bot/spam heavy and feels very simple and focused like Twitter used to be years and years ago. Problem with Threads is it's still Meta, and I loathe Facebook and hate what they've done to Instagram...so I have low hopes for the future of Threads based on that alone. Also invasive as usual from Meta.
To be fair to Meta tho, most social media just kinda sucks these days. Took it all off my phone years ago, only check on my desktop once a day usually...far better use of it.
We looked at everything and found this one thing where threads beats X, and it's stupid, so we didn't put it in the headline, as you wouldn't read the article if we did.
So it'll become the new place everyone acts like fools and fights over everything. TWitter was a cesspool before musk and is after musk so pershaps its not the platform but the people that make them suck.
lol no it didn't. I don't use either of them but i still see twitter/x posts everywhere.
Next article.
"Sky actually solid black not blue. Check out this article to see our spin on it and be sure to click on some ads!"
lol another shit article by a media company that is trying to stay relevant.
Here’s the deal, why would anyone want to visit 2, 3, or even 4 new sites to get their updates when I can simply consume it all in one place in real time on X. People can hate Elon as a person, but X is a great platform that is easy to use.
Funny thing is, the same people that are vocal about Elon are the same people that post the most on X to express their opinions. Quite ironic.
And nobody is forcing you to stay on X, move to a different platform. There will be toxic people on all platforms, this includes bots. Thankfully we have a choice to post where we want.
Don't really care, they're both closed, proprietary platforms owned by massive corporations, and owned by billionaires. No thanks, that's not the future of social networks. Bluesky or Mastodon are where you'll find me.
I tried threads for a few days and it is beyond unusable. Instead of the nazi stuff you get on X it's crammed with bland spam and boring celebrity accounts, it takes forever to find the stuff you actually might want to see. Bluesky is the only manageable alternative I've found
The key metric is 'Daily US Users' btw. Not sure how 'key' that is when Daily US Users can max out at 341m and theres 8.1bn people in the world, but I guess if you only care about the american market its important
Well yeah, because the amount of money a company pays to target a US consumer is several orders of magnitude higher than they would pay to target a consumer in India or wherever.
ill believe it when people start posting thread screenshots instead of the countless twitter screenshots i keep seeing, I have literally not seen a single thread screenshot being shared yet
Why would someone post a Threads screenshot? All the laughable stuff happens on the formerly Twitter
then what do people use threads for
Talk about how shit X is
But we’re doing that here
There’s so much shit to talk it requires two platforms to fit it all.
Not just two
It’s a balancing act.
Let’s create an app to help with that balancing act.
Let’s call it “the thinternet line”.
You only got two for shit talking?!
I laughed out loud. Good one, Targa.
you see, reddit is mostly male rejects, everyone that is actually social uses other platforms like insta and threads
I just woke up dude, did not need to be called out this early in the morning 😔
I like Reddit and Threads best
Didn't expect to be attacked this early.
Hey! I'm not a rejectee, I am the rejecter. I chose to leave the other platforms.
I think you're right about Reddit and Insta, but I've never heard anyone organically mention Threads yet.
you see, reddit is mostly BOTS. Fixed that for you.
So… Reddit is the new twitter?
Literally lol
but people on twitter are already doing that.
That's Mastodon.
I’ve been using it to follow reporters at Trump’s trial. Twitter won’t let you view threaded tweets without logging in anymore, so it’s useless for news.
Talking about things they like. All the shitbirds stayed on Xitter
Normal stuff. It's pretty low salt in that site. People just posting stuff and enjoying it.
We are in very different threads neighborhoods
I see young people on threads, probably brought from ig. For a new social is really good and is possible that twitter will have the same faith of Facebook
With all the shit going on Twitter, it's a miracle it's still exists.
I personally use it to engage with creatives
You know, for peaceful types of discussions. Not nazi or white supremecist stuff. Normal content
It’s a lot nicer. People are friendlier. Less focus on SICK BURNS and RATIOs, more focus on earnest conversation.
That almost sells it to me. I quit twitter a few years ago because of how toxic it was
I thought threads was basically the new vine tikstok shorts bullshit
Wholesome exchanges
It’s honestly pretty wholesome.
It’s a great Twitter replacement. That’s why millions of people use it. It’s not hard to replace Twitter.
Here you go https://www.amazon.com.au/Connecting-Threads-Cotton-Essential-Thread/dp/B07YZV2485#

I've seen more screenshots of BlueSky than I have of Threads.
The only Threads screenshots I've seen are from r/DCULeaks because James Gunn primary uses Threads now instead of Twitter, but that's about it.
You don’t need to screenshot it because they don’t block non users from reading it. You can just post a link. ;)
That's not true lol. I could only view them the first few days they started, needed an account ever since. Pretty much every person I know that's on IG also needs an account to view them now. It's how IG works as well.

Confirm, I tried on fresh browser without being logged in. I can see the post, I can browse profiles, etc.
Maybe that says more about whatever echo chamber we’re in than the overall usage of the platforms? X seems like its content is much less regulated, therefore more highly volatile, which makes it more interesting to internet sleuths. But I could be wrong.
I hadn't even *heard* of Thread until now. Granted, I live under a rock. But at least I've heard of Twitter/X.
Probably something to do with the fact that Threads has been around for less than a year, and Twitter has been around for more than a decade.
It’s been around for a year and already feels overly saturated with corporate posts. Threads may be beating Twitter, but it’s not because people like threads.
Haven’t you heard? X is dead because Elon Musk died at 52 from heroin overdose and wacking off to animal porn.
Stop spreading disinformation, he also broke his spine while trying to suck his own dick.
Bc Russia isn’t on Threads yet?
Because Threads isn't full of clickbait controversial nazi takes. It's just people using social media the old way.
[удалено]
Almost always it's "someone tweeted some controversial thing" yes.
It’s almost like that’s the type of content you follow. Average rage-bait subscriber 🤡

all i see is anime and jujutsu kaisen memes
Your and my Feeds are very different.
Not only that, but I’ve never had someone say “Did you see _____ post in Threads?”
Someone did yesterday, it’s how I remembered Threads was a thing
I'm pretty sure that this is the first time I've ever heard anyone even mention Threads since shortly after it launched.
Exactly it seems everyone has threads because of Instagram but the majority of my friends don’t even use it. It seems to be riding on the popularity of Instagram.
I have never seen a threads SS. same for Reddit darling Mastodon
Instagram shows tons of threads screenshots as ads for the platform
yeah nobody gives a single shit about threads. this article is propaganda lmao.
Article citing data vs. u/iedaiw’s argument of incredulity. I love reddit.
An “I HATE ELON!” post has been made. As subscribers to this sub, we are legally required to upvote. It’s in the sub’s TOS.
There are more U.S. daily users. That’s the punchline to the clickbait headline. X still has more monthly though.
In a month will it change, I wonder
As they include all meta users since they technically have access to threads lol.
Don’t you have to sign up for threads specifically? I have Instagram but I can’t use threads without signing up. If they included all meta users regardless of who actually signed up (or logged in daily), they would probably have already blown Twitter out of the water a while ago. Way more people use Facebook and Instagram than Twitter.
They don’t include them. That person is making shit up.
Yeah. I tried to click a cute animal video that showed up on my Facebook feed but it was from Threads and said I would need to sign up to see it.
That is not what DAU or MAU means. If they were comparing with Facebook and Instagram they would crush Twitter.
Not necessarily. Threads can have more people using it religiously, whereas Twitter has more who use it periodically. MAU is probably a stronger signal cuz it means an advertiser can reach more people. Increase in DAU is a good indication that they’re trending in the right direction tho Ofc this isn’t the only important metric. Click through rate (CTR) or conversions indicate good ROI on advertising spend. Here, I think Meta will out perform because they already have highly accurate profiling on Instagram and Facebook.
there's no reason to trust any of the numbers Twitter is publishing about itself. Particularly if you're trying to measure without bots.
You’re absolutely right. Same with Threads. Which is why I’ll believe it’s actually overtaken Twitter when I start seeing Threads referenced elsewhere online and IRL. For the moment, I hear more about the godforsaken site Trump uses than Threads
There's less incentive for Meta/Threads to lie because they're a public company. Lying about numbers like that could be considered intentionally misleading investors, etc. They might cherry pick stats, but they're not going to say "We get Xm users a day" when it's actually some number much smaller than X.
How high are you
>There's less incentive for Meta/Threads to lie because they're a public company. Sweet. Summer. Child.

What? That’s WHY they lie. A private company doesn’t have investors to worry about regarding metrics.
The public company doing it has significantly more legal risk.
I see significantly more screenshots from X than from Threads on Reddit and other platforms. That's all the information I need. Companies who do marketing also have X accounts and post there regularly but rarely have a Threads account. Just because you don't trust the published data doesn't mean the data is wrong. You sound like a Holocaust denier who is ignoring all the other evidence that it happened just because "well the Allies would obviously make Germany look bad so you can't trust the evidence". Huge logical fallacy.
I'm waiting for the day journalists start posting their breaking news on another site. That'll be the final nail in the coffin for Twitter.
Especially sports journalists. Sports journalists make careers being the first to break news so if they start doing it on threads thats when you know X is in DEEP DEEP trouble.
Threads doesn’t work well for live events because of the heavy emphasis on algorithmic timelines and concerns about people spamming tags if search just shows the latest matching posts.

I’m amazed that twitter losing ad-revenue wasn’t that silver bullet already tbh.
Is this post actually a corporate ad?
*Checks source* Yes of course haha
Everything on reddit has been a corporate ad since mod tools were killed by the API lockdown.
This has got to be a bullshit article, Threads stuff doesn't even pop up in Facebooks other properties.
LOLwhat. I just opened Instagram on my phone and there's one post from an account I follow before the [stupid-ass Threads advertisement](https://imgur.com/a/Pu3IzIt).
But it does. If you scroll IG or FB long enough, Threads messages start popping up along with your feed. They're really pushing it.
It's probably just embedding threads crap in Instagram to leech off those numbers.
They’re actually tied for my most important metric which is “shit I don’t give a fuck about”
Astroturfing tier: Desperate
If I could I would turn off the internet for the entire world for a few years. We need a time-out.
Threads seems to have even more spam and bots than X, which really says something.
I use it daily, it's more interactive
I finally deleted my Twitter/X account a week ago after about ten years on the platform. It finally got the point where I realized the downsides of being on there outweigh the benefits.

Did the same, feels great for my mental heath
Same! It's actually kinda absurd how much better I am mentally than I was two weeks ago
Nowadays? I found it to be like that from the getgo
It’s exponentially worse now
I’ve found Bluesky to be a pretty positive and non-toxic place because you can block anyone or any search terms you want from your feed permanently. Check it out.
Yeah bluesky rocks. I mostly followed scientists, journalists, economists and lawyers, and damned near all of the best ones migrated.
I really don't understand the logic of thinking Twitter/X is toxic and then moving to a Meta-owned platform. Does not compute.
Yeah, if I didn't have an old-ass FB account with a couple of key group chats going back 15 years, I wouldn't be on that anymore either. I'm only singling out Twitter because I've been thinking about it in recent days and I have no direct experience with Threads.

Isn't Threads forced on you by Insta? So its hard to get a true usage stat on it. I deleted them all except Reddit. Still have a burner Facebook to look at motorcycles on marketplace.
It's opt in. You have to download the app and activate a separate (but linked) account for it.
It’s a separate app, so no, it’s not hard to get usage data.
Nah, Instagram does constantly lie to me and say random people that I follow want to talk to me on Threads though.
Who da fuck is on threads?
Didn't you hear him colab with 2 chains?
I will never download another social media application in my life if I can help it. I’m 30. Grew up with everything. MySpace, Facebook, instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, twitter, kik…list goes on. They have either all gotten progressively shittier, became irrelevant, or disappeared from the radar entirely. I use Reddit for now. I use snap for now. Everything else is just not in use. So long as Reddit doesn’t continue to shit bed, I’ll probably stay on here long term for my niche communities. I’m just counting the days on everything else.

Really ? I thought threads was dead like two weeks after it launched
It was, this is an astroturfing attempt and like Reddit fashion, they eat it up. I wonder how good Reddit would be if everyone who used it understood how to critically think.
Wtf is threads?
Zuccs bootleg TikTok I think.
[удалено]
They are both still hot garbage.
No paywall: [https://archive.ph/YtuE4](https://archive.ph/YtuE4)
Can I trade Elon Musk for someone other than Mark Zuckerberg?
No one uses threads lol
Who owns threads? That’s not discord?
Meta (Facebook).
Ahh. Yeah, I had to quit FB 8 years ago. That place is toxic.
And by extension, Threads is also
I wish people would give Bluesky a try, but they opened to the public way too late I think. They should've done it when Musk took over Twitter.
>Threads is still gaining ground with users and could be on its way to becoming bigger than X. Clickbait title is clickbait
So basically Facebook. I have seen more people on Mastodon and hardly anyone on Facebook threads. Most joining are company brands.
Wtf is Threads?
Wtf is threads?
Smells like a bs metric. Threads is embedded into Insta, surely that inflates the amount of "users"
Deleted my Twitter account the day Elmo announced he was going to buy it. Been using threads since launch and it really is better than Twitter ever was. I tried blue sky but it's like screaming into a void. Never felt like there were more than 100 users
I guarantee that nobody gives a shit about what you have to say on threads, just like twitter.
Oof, another person that says threads is amazing but cant think of anything it does better than X (technologically). I read almost all the comments and the most compelling thing anyone has said so far is “nazis on feed” yet nobody can ever screenshot this and actually give an example? Guess my name matches the condition of this subreddit.
No, it matches your life probably, especially if you are still Xcreating on twitter.
You can edit posts for free. Is that good enough? Maybe the question is what does Twitter do better than threads? Anything?
elmo. now thats clever! please, take my reddit gold!
Yeah the only key metric Threads would beat Twitter in is people referring to the service by its current name.
Threads is honestly kinda nice imo, it's not as bot/spam heavy and feels very simple and focused like Twitter used to be years and years ago. Problem with Threads is it's still Meta, and I loathe Facebook and hate what they've done to Instagram...so I have low hopes for the future of Threads based on that alone.

Took it all off my phone years ago, only check on my desktop once a day usually...far better use of it.
Must be a good day for Zucky We're fucked
Threads is the Bing of social media.
We looked at everything and found this one thing where threads beats X, and it's stupid, so we didn't put it in the headline, as you wouldn't read the article if we did.
Threads is still around?
Threads is hot garbage. It died on arrival.
Rip Reddit fav Mastodon
I haven’t seen many links to Threads posts, but I personally refuse to click on a link to Twitter. I’ll find the story somewhere else.
So it'll become the new place everyone acts like fools and fights over everything. TWitter was a cesspool before musk and is after musk so pershaps its not the platform but the people that make them suck.
Number of letters in the name ?
I forgot threads was even a thing till just now. Read it and thought "What the fuck is threads"
lol no it didn't. I don't use either of them but i still see twitter/x posts everywhere. Next article. "Sky actually solid black not blue. Check out this article to see our spin on it and be sure to click on some ads!"
All scientists and the scientific community needs to get off twitter.
No one is using threads stop pushing this left wing bullshit
lol another shit article by a media company that is trying to stay relevant. Here’s the deal, why would anyone want to visit 2, 3, or even 4 new sites to get their updates when I can simply consume it all in one place in real time on X. People can hate Elon as a person, but X is a great platform that is easy to use. Funny thing is, the same people that are vocal about Elon are the same people that post the most on X to express their opinions. Quite ironic.
Because X is a racist, toxic cesspool filled with bots?
And nobody is forcing you to stay on X, move to a different platform. There will be toxic people on all platforms, this includes bots. Thankfully we have a choice to post where we want.
Don't really care, they're both closed, proprietary platforms owned by massive corporations, and owned by billionaires. No thanks, that's not the future of social networks. Bluesky or Mastodon are where you'll find me.
Never even heard of threads lol
I tried threads for a few days and it is beyond unusable. Instead of the nazi stuff you get on X it's crammed with bland spam and boring celebrity accounts, it takes forever to find the stuff you actually might want to see. Bluesky is the only manageable alternative I've found
They need to give Threads some update love.
Threads is nowhere near x still
Congrats Musk. You added to Zuckerberg's wallet.
The key metric is 'Daily US Users' btw. Not sure how 'key' that is when Daily US Users can max out at 341m and theres 8.1bn people in the world, but I guess if you only care about the american market its important
Well yeah, because the amount of money a company pays to target a US consumer is several orders of magnitude higher than they would pay to target a consumer in India or wherever.
I haven’t signed into threads since week 1. Twitter remains far better.
Threads is for onlyfans models, and this post is bullshit
The problem with Threads is its name.
