This is really awesome for @bsky.app! Cool to see all the excitement around here for new arrivals; social media being welcoming is a nearly unfathomable feeling outside of this place.
They made everyone on Insta a member of Threads automatically, didn’t they? Like a social media version of that one U2 album that Apple “gifted” to everyone. 😬 🍏 🎵
FB has had a fairly sudden loss in its utility. I get a few posts from real friends, but mostly ads or stuff from people or organizations I've never heard of.
In Brazil whatsapp is used for everything. To be in touch with friends/fam. There are groups to communicate to a lot of people at once, like a work group/gym group. All the major companies have a whatsapp to sell their products and to receive complaints. You can also use it to pay your bills.
I hope @bsky.app is taking note of this, I mean I know Threads is #1 due to being Meta, but this is very very promising here, due to Musk causing trouble, oh and here id a word of warning of what Musk & Trump want to do to Twitter/X at this point, it ain't pretty...
The thing I hate most is how they’ll show you like half a post from threads on intagram but then when you click on it to see the rest, it takes you to the fucking AppStore. Shove threads in my face, fine, but have some damn shame about it at least my god.
Not really. You can pay people through WhatsApp, participate in communities and groups of people you don’t know and interact with lots of strangers just like Bluesky or Instagram for example. WhatsApp is integrated in everyone’s lives at least here in Brazil, it’s used for literally everything
Sure, but you can't just find random people on it like you can on the others. You've gotta use some kind of outside source to make the initial connection. It's just a messaging app with a couple extra features.
not sure actually how they calculate this! i assume so? but then i wouldn't expect Threads to just permanently stay in the #1 slot, unless they are truly getting that many daily downloads (which maybe they are!!)
Twitter exodus is one of the reasons for the quick uptake of Threads during the summer of 2023. It would be reasonable to think that Threads continues to gain users when Elon Musk incrementally degrades user experience on X.
I hope so. I am getting more engagement on Bluesky than on Threads despite having ten times more followers on Threads. Politics and climate change are shadow banned on Threads. I love using Bluesky. Bluesky is not only much better than X or Threads, it's also much better than pre-Musk Twitter.
I've never understood how social media apps are defined. WhatsApp? Really? Yelp? I think I even saw the amazon store listed one time. Let's be clear bluesky is number 2 in the practical world. Thanks for all your late nights Hailey (and everyone else of course)!
After trying to figure out where to go after new ownership of Twitter, and a bunch of alternatives suddenly popped up, it seems we're all agreeing to regroup here.
Not surprised. Facebooks feed has turned out to be quite different.
Now it's pushing manosphere and hate speech pages on user feed.
And I don't like or follow that crap.
Congratulations! Now if you could stop censoring artwork you might actually attract galleries, museums,and artists. Nudity is an erect penis or a woman with her legs spread; not Michelangelo’s David.
Fun fact Mark Zuckerberg actively used Facebook to install Trump in 2016. Democracy loving people should think twice about using Threads, WhatsApp & Facebook.
Still waiting for it to be as useful in keeping informed in a disaster situation as Twitter used to be ten years ago. So far, no weather (just yank weather), no fire alerts, no flood alerts etc.
i think we can all safely say you would be #1 if you simply rolled in the food fax technology i have been demanding, allowing us all to share transcontinental tacos or lobster. or lobster stuffed with tacos.

Kind of like checking the search history of "eclampsia" will tell you when a particular episode of Downton Abbey aired in the US. :)
Nice… 😎
I'm not even sure what the purpose of Threads is.
Now it's pushing manosphere and hate speech pages on user feed.

Some work to do there. 😬
