base talk Threads is flopping: Already lost over half its users, daily usage down 70%

[Gladiator]

There's 0 reason for anyone to use Threads, other than to grandstand against Twitter.

deserved. i dont understand why it takes so long to update with basic features while twitter had the time to completely rebrand and launches new features every two weeks since threads launched

If you were a software developer, you would understand. Threads is a whole new app that was built from scratch, totally rushed by Mark when he saw the Twitter mess.

 

X "rebrand" was mere logo changing and minor feature add. Not comparable.

The font alone is ugly af. It never had a chance tbh.

Besides Facebook kinda copying MySpace... has copying an already existing app/platform ever worked? Especially one thats been around for ten years.

Didn't Instagram kinda end Snapchat with the stories feature?

[Miss Show Business]

They just need to add more features and people will use it. I hate that there's no trending topics section so you're stuck with whatever timeline you have.

[Orsay]

Of course it is. It was so embarrassing watching everyone think Mark “owned” Elon or whatever after its initial success. Imagine siding with either of these freaks

They need to make it explicit like Twitter or else there’s no point. We don’t need an Instagram without photos, so dumb

Girl, define competently. You literally called it "twitter"

 

OT: I made one to see how it bad and left immediately so I'm not surprised. That said, twitter is hell

[Somnambulist]

This thread is depressing as someone who has worked on UI’s and social media platforms. 
 

Musk overworking X employees because they’re here on visas and literally have no choice but to work or get deported/fired to launch buggy features and an entire rebrand (that was embarrassingly rolled out) is apparently the standard ATRL is expecting. 
 

Threads lacks some things sure- and I’m sure they’re working on them, but this thread is so messy. 

[EarthJang]

Can't say that I'm surprised 

[ddddynamite]

I'm surprised it still have more than 10%. Not bad

 

And they still have Instagram. They could easily link both platforms and shows Threads posts on Instagram in the future.

 

It's their SPIRIT era not a main gig

Zuck got too eager to launch while everyone was dragging Elon/Twitter but the app isn't close to ready for primetime yet. No trending tab, no search bar, same shitty IG algorithm...there's nothing to explore or any way to actually connect, you're basically just confined to a timeline of corporate posts...which can work for a picture/video based app but boring as hell for a text based one.

 

Threads is basically just a hybrid of IG and Twitter but without ANY of the cool features and functionality of either that made them great. 

[Onyxmage]

Well I deleted X from my iphone because it literally clashes with all my apps and looks disgusting. I guess im done with twitter.

[CBC]

really good start but they didn't give us the basic features fast enough. to add salt to the injury they locked several regions out after launch (you could use it anywhere after downloading it from a country that had the app)

[Kern]

I thought this is about ATRL threads flopping 

[alejandreaux]

it gave Facebook unfortunately 

[Blue Monday]

It had a lot of promise but ultimately was front loaded. I didn't think the algorithm was going to bother me so much but when I literally was only seeing maybe one of the 100+ people I followed in my feed I started to get frustrated; like at that point what's the point of even following anyone?

Random people you don’t care about posting the most corniest “motivational quotes” to having to wait till the next update to see your followed timeline” I’m not surprised people dropped it quickly.

[MonsterJohn]

zuckerberg can't launch a new product successfully in decades, not surprised

Flop? : absolutely 

[Luckitty]

it's so bad.. i used it for like 20 minutes when it came out and never used it since

 

90% of the posts are giving 2013 twitter & instagram memes, i don't wanna see that ****
