It's a good start, they have a lot of work to do to add some missing features, and apparently it broke Instagram, but those are growing pains.

I'd be happy if Threads establishes itself as a version of Twitters for creators, artists, scientists, professionals, and stays away from politics, trolls and polarizing opinions. If people want this, Twitter can have at it.

Also I'm looking forward to BlueSky opening as they also show promise. There won't be a single replacement, or a complete replacement, for Twitter so quickly. It'll be a process.




I dunno… people go where the people are and Threads picked up 100 million users in 4 days. (Side note - geez, what an amazing technical achievement… props to the Meta team for their operational chops)
