Notes

• 2023-07-10 ‘Twitter killer’ Threads app hits 100m sign-ups in less than five days: note that the only source for this number is Mark Zuckerberg; there's been no independent confirmation.

  • Threads is All The Worst Parts of Twitter And Instagram in One Very Bad App (h/t) «The interface looks and feels like Instagram’s comments section, and there is no way to view posts chronologically on the timeline—or even to limit your feed to posts from accounts you follow. Instead, users see text posts based on what an invisible algorithm determines is most likely to make them engage and stay on the app, so they will see more ads.» So basically, it's not social media; it's advertising with comments.
