Lowkey it's pretty garbage lol.
But it's by Facebook and a lot of people are already joining it. I feel like if anyone can compete with twitter it'll be them (even though I genuinely despite Zuck)
Itβs garbage and people will love it.
Yeah people just want an alternative to Twitter. As long as it does the primary function (tweet) and has the users, it will grow.
I loved Reddit and Twitter until they made it clear users were not the focus anymore. Iβd never lock myself behind those systems again. I made that mistake twice. I use beautifully built 3rd party apps that were cut off at the kneecaps with no warning. Iβm here to stay. For some, that meta data mine will be all they want / need, so good for them?
Let people enjoy new things.
Itβs meta. It was ruined in the conception stage. No way were there good actors at play at any point in this process.
Then stick to using FOSS.
For social media thatβs the plan

meta is.. social mediaβs number one supplier?
Pretty sure that was the name of the 6th chapter of The Hobbit but it's there has been similar idioms around for a long long time.
Millions joined? Or millions of Facebook/Instagram accounts were imported?
Probably imported, but that doesn't make them less real. The ease of transferring accounts will be a major advantage for this platform.
My guess is that a good part of those people are just trying to reserve a good username and then will sit on it.
Facebook/meta makes everything terrible.
Wow. Was not expecting growth so rapidly.
I don't like Meta or Twitter, but I am rooting for Meta in this battle. Just sick of Musk's antics.
At any rate, I've got my popcorn ready.
