      Yes this is so confusing to me. There was a blast of attention about it when it was launched that lasted like a week max and then everyone completely forgot about it. I thought it was a short-run experiment that got shut down. What reason is there to use threads? Are there any actual humans who still use it? I’ve never visited it but something tells me that it’s just like reddit with at most 100 real users and the rest is just bots replying to bots.

        You need to expand your sources of information. Threads is shit, I agree, but it is actually getting solid usage. You’re going off vibes on places like Lemmy.

          Yup. If you only follow Lemmy, you’ll be completely confused at:

          • why Tesla/X/other Musk stuff still exists
          • how Trump won if nobody supported him
          • how Meta is still in business if the only thing people use is their cheap VR headsets

          There’s a lot of stuff we don’t see here.

            Facebook is actually a bit of a mystery at this point. They stopped reporting DAU’s their numbers are so lackluster and they have burned a small nation’s budget on “The Metaverse” with nothing to show. Then they cut jobs, applaud, and stock goes up. A lot of folks are scratching their heads over but Wall Street loves it regardless.
