Twitter is dead and Threads is thriving

Neither of those statements are true.

Yes, twitter is in decline with a 15% drop is users in the past year but that is far from dead.

I am no fan of twitter or EM but it still has a long way to fall before we can pull the sheet over its head.

And Reports of threads as thriving seems to be wrong in the other direction.

fb is pushing threads content to fb to boost numbers

TLDR: Indications are that both platforms are losing users but twitter has a much longer way to fall.

But Twitter has been massively losing advertisers, and that is what will kill it rather than losing users. Unless Elon goes sunk cost fallacy on us and funds it directly in which case he can keep it alive perpetually.

Unpopular opinion: MAAMA as a whole isn’t relevant to tech as in technology.

There is a similar sub, but it’s not updated since 1 year ago. !elon@lemmy.ca

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !elonmusk@lemmy.ml, !elon@lemmy.ca

Most people just jump from the first “shit wagon on fire” which is Xitter to the next close “shit wagon”. Because it was the new “thing” and all the “influencer” are there 🤚😲🤚.

Most people don’t think for more than a second before making a decision and it shows
