Why tho I mean, really. Who is on there? What’s the incentive to switch to threads? I understand going to a federated mastodon instance, but this?

141 million people and 33 million DAU in less than 6 months.
So basically already about 15 times more than Mastodon, which was released 7 years ago.

#13The notifications are very hard and sometimes impossible to turn off. I like Instagram, but I couldn't care less about Threads. Being forced to get these notifications constantly gives me a strong urge to nuke my profiles on both apps.

#14I have a feeling the biggest blunder Musk made isn't verbal gaffes, but renaming Twitter to X. He basically gave business away to Meta on silver platter.
Which is even funnier when you know he tried to rename PayPal to X before and got fired over this abysmal idea.

That's still an apples-to-oranges comparison since Facebook made it trivial to onboard to from in the Instagram app and made sure that lots of mainstream celebrities (and more importantly, advertisers) were posting there from the beginning.
It's more like an apples-to-apples comparison, but one company is selling apples in a small market stall and the other is Walmart.
