I thought I was gonna be able to quit Reddit full time. Didn’t look for a few days, then did. Still check since some niche communities aren’t over here (or active) yet so I have to go there. But I only still check every few days (I was a several time a day redditor so usage is down) and I’ll check Lemmy at least once or twice a day now.
Phillies fan checking in. Agree. I have a community with a bot that posts game updates like Reddit (which is nice) but the game threads are mainly me posting once or twice and one or two other people with side off comments. No community engagement so to speak. Long way from the Reddit game threads of several thousand comments.
Meta’s Twitter rival Threads just went live and has already exceeded 10 million signups within the first seven hours, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg…
Except I was prompted to create an account no less than like 2-3 times in the 2-3 times I opened Instagram after it launched. It’s not automatic but it is damn near two step enrollment. I’d like to see ”active users” two weeks/months from now after the enrollment storm passes to see who actually stayed with it.
I literally had someone request to “follow me” who then immediately text me and ask — what is this thing that it just put me on.
They are definitely inflating numbers and making it hard to drop user count because deleting threads deletes your Instagram too.
You’ll only ever hear about total users now never “active” would be my guess which after a few days or weeks will be significantly less than the “10 million” that supposedly “signed up”
