Zuck dropped the ball bad.

He’s not the right person for the job of democratizing the interchange of information without bias.

Threads was the fastest growing app of all time and now has ~300m MAU, 1m new users a day and is on track to being larger than X in about a year. And then once they switch on advertising will be printing tens of billions a year.

Hard to see how they've dropped the ball on this one.

By building a service that went from 0 to 275 million active users in a year (compared to Bluesky's 18 million)?

I’ve seen this said before, and I guess it might be true, but I don’t really get why people would use Threads once there’s advertising on it — isn’t it being a better experience their main value proposition? And they’ve just spent the last few years teaching people how easy it is to migrate between these basically-interchangeable services…

I wouldn't count out Threads yet. But, in my limited use, something seemed off with Theads, but am liking Bluesky. YMMV.

X has ads. Bluesky will inevitably have ads.

So which platform do you see them moving to ?
