Maybe because they didn’t “sign-up”. I read somewhere that Meta just created accounts for all Instagram users automatically
Not defending meta, but that wouldn’t add up with the amount of activity that immediately followed
They announced that all Instagram users had a shadow account. I can’t remember if they were saying it was a mistake or not but it did happen.
I can imagine that a bunch of those are astroturfing usernames. Businesses, celebrities and the like have a big deal of value in their online identity.
On general, yes, however threads uses your Instagram username. I think it’s just initial excitement to try something new and people getting on the anti - X / twitter / Elon train and then realising that the network effect has way more pull
Twitter is where all drama happens.
It doesn’t matter that some people will register an account on Threads and even use it as their primary platform.
They will still come to Twitter to see what “them” are doing.
What’s twitter!? Do you mean X? 😉
I’m actually surprised no one has pointed out the design flaw in the logo. It looks like a close window x button on browsers, especially iOS Safari. I keep wanting to close out of the window by clicking on it instead of the smaller other x.
It’s been pointed out. Lots.
Thanks?
You basically asked why no one mentioned it looks like a close icon and this person informed you that it had been mentioned a lot. What are you saying thanks with a question mark as if what you brought up wasn’t answered?
X what? Xvideos? Xxx something? What’s x? Ex? Ex Twitter? I am out of the loop. Please explain. /s
X? The kiddie porn platform?
Oh no, that was a mistake. The guy said he didn’t and Elon said nobody saw it and besides that wouldn’t happen on such an awesome platform. /s
I believe Elon didn’t see it. Why else would he want to keep the account up? So he could go look at the pics.
I am not surprised. A good deal of it was probably driven by fear of missing out.
