Probably because it's a complete mess. I joined as I was curious and don't really care if I have to delete my Instagram account to get rid of my Threads account. You follow people and then barely see their updates.

From what I've heard about the feel it's a giant data (=cash) grab. Sorta like how Google+ was a me-too and never took off.

The massive inrush is like what happens when the new restaurant opens in town. Everyone goes once or twice to check it out but if it sucks it will still fail even if it is super busy the first week.

Well, yeah. It was the cool new thing, now it isn't.

This is expected? New service, people flock, it's not for everyone that flocked, buzz dies down

I'll stick with Mastodon in any case

Mobile only is a no-go for me. Sorry Zuck.

Will it go the way of Clubhouse (remember that one?)? 🤔

It will prabably go back once Elon does his next thing and or the work out some QOL problems.

Give it a home feed that isn't solely algorithmically driven and it'll be back.

Shocking news

[-] theothersparrow@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

A flood of brands I can't opt out of--I gotta mute/block each of them individually--no bookmarks or drafts for Threads I might like to come back to, no fuckin' gifs, mobile only, de-prioritization of news...

Tbh it's just kinda lame.

Maybe those 10 Million new subscribers were just bots.
