Fediverse

I assumed this was the case and that any reporting on "users" and the "historical" nature of their short time to 10M users was 100% BS.

I think the strategy is great and I would do the same that they are doing, except I'd leave out the bit where I crowed about reaching 10M users in 7 hour or 100M in a few days. It's too obviously a lie supported by the ability to leverage one network into another.

So they peer pressure Insta users to use Threads?

I don't see anything wrong with this

This happened to me. Joined threads and what do I see? Signal and instantly had a bunch of random accounts follow me.

I think I'm sticking to Mastodon and Pixelfed.

They're so gross lol

Add far I remember they did something similar for Facebook/meta/"insert new name here" back then, I remember someone made a lawsuit.

I'm surprised that people think it would be different...

Holy shit that's why they bundled it in with Instagram? So they can inflate the adoption rate?

Shocking

Not being up on (or caring about) what evil Meta is up to I was wondering how they got 90M users overnight, that splains it.

Of course that's why they had so many new accounts so fast! And that's why removing the Threads account also deletes your Instagram one! No way a bad app like that, missing the basic features (front what I've read in reviews), would have so many users so fast!
