The real question is why does threads even have users ? Like who is the target audience ?
Casual Twitter users who left twitter after Musk took over but aren't thinking all that hard about what it was specifically that Musk brings to the table that creates the problems. They just see someone else made a Twitter alike, and they already have an Instagram account, so they give it a shot.
All they know is the people they liked on twitter are gone, but that there were elements of the Twitter experience they liked
Why don’t they go to Mastodon or Blue Sky?
Advertisment on other Meta platforms.
The only people out in the wild I've heard mention Threads, were of boomer age.
Shouldn't boomers be on facebook or trying to ruin insta for the young ? Like threads do have better alternatives as it is the one of those time when zuck was kinda late with it.
Maybe Meta is pushing Threads heavily to the Facebook userbase. I'm uncertain, because I do not use either.
They seem to push it harder on Instagram from what I’ve seen
Yeah sounds like somethin zuck would do for sure.
Lmao Lemmy is sometimes so out of touch
Yes, its the kind of people who were either kicked off reddit (I.e. the tankies), disagree with reddit over principles and/or moderation, and tech nerds (hense why Linux has a strong presence in c/all). Those groups of people are less likely to understand main stream appeal for things, probably because they aren't the target audience.
I'm still trying to figure that out. I've racked my brain but cannot come up with a solution. Time to turn to AI.
