    Honest question from someone in whose country facebook's/meta's products never were popular to begin with : People actually used Threads? i thought it was completly stillborn platform.

    Used? It seems there are people who currently do use it. I don't use Threads, but Facebook tells me some of my friends use Threads.

    i dont even know why meta created threads. what void are they
    filling? they

    They created it so they could take Twitter out of the market. They
    failed. It was amusing to watch because they poured so much money
    into it without having a clear idea of what they were doing.



    it's basically now just a companion to instagram which a few people use.

    i've never liked twitter but i pop on it sometimes. that sort of stuff rubs
    me the wrong way, i'm not sure why. maybe i dont like microblogging.

    Interesting, considering that Musk had not taken over Twitter yet
    back then.

    No, we just had to deal with Russian bots on twitter influencing
    a US election.


    yeah those BOTS really were the problem. not people throwing out votes or people putting in votes later than legally allowed. by people i mean democrats.
