- Instagram's Twitter clone, Threads, attracted 30 million users in its first day. (Ars Technica)
Amazing what you can do when you already have 1.3 billion users.
- Even the Twitter haters say Threads is useless. (Tech Crunch)
It has instantly become the CNN of the social media world. There's nothing interesting there, nobody trusts it, and nobody actually uses it, but the advertisers feel safe.
- Advertisers feel safe, but users are already being banned for harmless - if inane - material. (Tech Crunch)
In the hours since Threads launched, users fleeing back to Twitter have already complained that they were flagged for relatively innocuous posts. One user complained that they were flagged on Threads for saying they were horny, so "Elon wins this round." Another said she was penalized for asking if users can "post boob," which Threads flagged as content that "resembles others that have been reported."
"Tried calling myself stupid on threads and it got flagged for bullying," artist Mikaeladraws tweeted. "That place is not gonna handle any of our shit." And also for less-harmless material that nonetheless wouldn't raise an eyebrow on Twitter.
Will it gain traction? I don't know. Maybe. There are people still using Facebook.
Will it be any good? Not a chance.
- Meanwhile I got suspended from Twitter for a week for using the word "idiot" three times in one day.
Didn't know there was a bag limit.
