Hi HODLers, Lions and Hiveans,
It has now been almost 2 weeks that $META launched Threads, its Twitter competitor. First, I was thinking it might have a shot because it was integrated with other powerful Social Media apps such as Facebook and Instagram.
As I thought more and more about it, I think this is the biggest flaw! Actually, users on Twitter are very focused on 2 or 3 things. Crypto, Politics, Business, Finance or Sports! They like Twitter because it allows them to only interact to accounts which are also focused/interested in the same subjects.
For a second week in a row, the number of daily active users declined on Threads, falling to 13 million, down about 70% from a July 7 peak, according to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.
By adding and making it almost mandatory to link your instagram/facebook accounts which are more focused on your life/relationships. They have lost this! Nobody likes it when your uncle/friend posts a political rant on Facebook. Most of my IG and FB friends do not care about Crypto, so i wouldn't post stuff about it there.
Twitter-like app NEED to be separated from your identity apps. This is why we like Twitter because we can argue, dislike and argue with other users on topic that we care about. This will never be possible on Facebook or Instagram.
I believe the biggest mistake has been to try to import their user base. Threads will decline to 0 and hopefully LeoFinance might be a good alternative to Twitter in the future
This app has some things going their way though. It is backed by the biggest social media conglomerate so it gets a lot of time to develop and add features which might end up by getting users back to the platform.
“Meta definitely has the patience, they have the money, and they have the engineering talent,”
Also, they stole our name and therefore, there has no Lion's friend!.
Stay safe out there,
