Threads Has Lost More Than 80% of Its Daily Active Users

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
From the get go I thought Threads growth wasn't organic. The low usage stats, imho, only supports that thought. The app isn't bad and if people were really so desperate, they'd stick to it to help it's growth.
Threads is an add-on to instagram. It automatically created shadow accounts for everyone on instagram and automatically imported all followers. Under no reasonable definition can that be counted as organic.
It didn’t automatically create accounts, you had to go in instagram and choose to sign up to threads. It’s just that it became very trendy very quickly and for a very short amount of time. Partly due to the fact that on signing up you got a badge on your instagram account saying you were the Xth person to sign up to threads.
Eh. I do think threads is better than twitter, but I think the people that like that text based posting are used to Twitter and nobody else cares about that type of platform
It feels like saying stalin was better than hitler. I think the world would be infinitely better if some government agency just pulled the plug on them rn. Let the process start over. People would migrate to the fediverse on their own and the instances could probably start being profitable at some point.
