A week in, Threads has lost half of its active users

Can you point me to instructions? I can’t figure this out.

Yep, this is intentional. They add user-friendly features only begrudgingly after years. They want only algorithmically generated feeds because those monetize. Letting everyone look at grandma’s photos and nothing else is what users want, but not what the company wants.

Even now, people still seem to forget that we are the product, not the customer. These social media companies are never going to give everyone what they want in their feeds and it shouldn’t be a surprise that they don’t by now.

As I said earlier, “Threads will be terrible” is the easier prediction in the world.

Facebooks 1 identity is such a huge issue, that the driver off all tec is never going to move to it, i am not linking my insta and facebook profile to my after dark account, that’s the whole point of having a twitter where i can be the me that other people get to see, not my family or work friends, and for many more people their after dark lives could put them in danger / be illegal for them just to exists and how long till facebook started having to hand that over, V twitter which lets me turn off find, me by my mobile number and email or any other way to link me to anything.
