Threads Usage Overtakes X on Mobile

[wonderings]

shows how out of it I am, I did not even know what Threads was. I will happily pass on them as I have on X and every other social media platform.

 

[BabyBoii]

bro no one actually uses threads. its only activity is due to instagram users being pushed to view a thread.

X is the goat of social media.

(haters gonna go ham on this post)

I don't use either. I'm just personally not a fan of this particular type of social media. It's just a bunch of people talking **** about nothing more often than not.

I don't use social media at all. 😊

Do we still need “formerly Twitter”? It’s been years.

It’s like the news sources that still use the term “the tech-heavy NASDQ."

This article is about "mobile" users. Would bots be included in that stat? Bots aren't running on iOS.

Um have you seen how some bot farms work? So yep it’s very possible and even probable.

Threads is one of those "Try to make 'fetch' happen." in the tech world.

 

[DynaFXD]

threads is by dar the worse "social media" platform. its pretty much an algorithm on steroids to flood you with rage bait, porn and spam

Wellllll the algorithms feed you what you appear to like based on your engagement. So if that's what you're getting fed a lot of .................................

engagement where? I don't even use it but if I go to it that's all there is from the second I signed up. everyone I've talked to says the same. it seems like its designed to antagonize and create conflict

I've noticed that I see a lot more threads screenshots around the web, these two companies can battle to the death for all I care.

Here's my experience of a Meta platform app:

Instagram story of ABC user: "I just posted a new IG post!! (shows picture)"
My instagram feed: *shows the picture that was in the IG story of ABC user*
My instagram feed: "ABC user has posted the same picture over at Threads! Check it out!!!*

Surprised to see these numbers. Think overall in the future, number of users on X should increase.

 

[MacCurry]

I do use BlueSky but only to stalk the Star Trek actors 🤭🖖

Shatner is on X. He's cool and stays away from politics.

 

[zenmacx]

You're basically choosing the lesser of 2 evils to hand your data over to. 🤷‍♂️

Big Tech lure the unsuspecting in through convenience and ease of use.

Further assisted by the "TLDR" mentality people ignorantly give up their privacy and become one of the lemmings.

Musk will sue meta now

 

[Plutonius]

I have more bots than you do .... .

Try to keep up.

Yes, if for no other reason than Musk probably doesn’t like it.

 

[zenotds]

Not impressed considering the cesspool Twitter (I refuse to call it X) has become

 

[Macaholic868]

I happily closed my account once Musk decided it would be a good idea to kill thousands unnecessarily by letting millions of dollars in food and medicine rot instead of distributing it. There’s a special place for Elon coming in time, and it’s not the moon or Mars.

 

[fatTribble]

Yeah I do miss seeing his Tweets. I like him.

 

[lipnorth]

Good!!! X should be banned from app stores due its sponsorship of child porn.

 

[robfoll]

Fascist vs Fascist. No good choices here except to delete both accounts.

 

[riverguide]

When mobile and web audiences are combined, X is estimated to exceed 270 million daily users, while Threads totals roughly 150 million daily users across platforms.

That makes 420 million .. daily. Frightening. Happy to be left out.

 

[delsoul]

Pretty sure we can drop the, “formerly Twitter” portion. X and Threads are equally both full of bots. Both platforms boast about user numbers but it’s pretty inaccurate, overall

I don't pick up another social media platform/app when I put down another. Thank god.
