While Threads-related headlines have focused on its big traffic drops, Meta's CEO says its Twitter alternative is a 'compelling long-term opportunity.'

I mean. Until now I thought that Threads was a shitty copy of a shittier dying social, but now that his actual owner said otherwise i have to belive him, right?

Strong “my mum says I’m handsome” vibes.

In Southern Italy there’s a saying that goes like “every cockroach is beautiful to its mother” which perfectly summarizes the idea.

In Egypt it’s"Every monkey is a gazelle to its own mother"

We’re neighbours after all… TIL something new, thanks!

Wait, what’s the connection between monkeys and gazelles that makes this make sense?

AnokLola@lemm.ee on 27 Oct 2023 21:25 collapse

Gazelles are more aesthetically pleasing than monkeys. That’s it.

Actually, everything Meta is terrible.

Fuck off Mark.

Yep, apart from Oculus. Makes sim racing 🤌for the money, I haven’t looked at FB for a decade. Awful.

Boozilla@lemmy.world on 27 Oct 2023 00:53 next collapse

Exactly. Zuckerberg is a POS. Folks are only talking about this because X/Twitter is such a dumpster fire, not because Threads is good.

jameseb@lemm.ee on 27 Oct 2023 10:18 collapse

What’s sad is that people aren’t talking about Mastodon nearly as much as they are talking about Threads and X. It just doesn’t seem to get much publicity outside of the fediverse.

mPony@kbin.social on 27 Oct 2023 11:07 collapse

well, why would people who use Fediverse options talk about using those options on non-Fediverse platforms? Other than the occasional "hey I use Mastodon and it's great." Not the kind of thing you'd talk about all the time.

jameseb@lemm.ee on 27 Oct 2023 12:02 collapse

I can understand why people wouldn’t specifically talk about the fediverse on other sites. It just seems like there is a lot of coverage of X and Meta in the news, but there doesn’t seem to have been even a passing mention of fediverse sites in most of what I’ve seen. I guess the more established social media sites are still a lot more significant than fediverse alternatives though.

There is one undeniable non-terribleness in Threads - it is not Xitter.

registrert@lemmy.sambands.net on 26 Oct 2023 23:59 next collapse

We all know them numbers are inflated, whats the number of daily active users not visiting Threads via FB activity?

kaitco@lemmy.world on 27 Oct 2023 00:44 next collapse

“Great” in the way that Metaverse was great, or this the real sort of great, as in “free beer” great?

It’s a reference to LA Noire

I’m well aware, but in this context it gets a bit of double meaning
