Threads Has Lost More Than 80% of Its Daily Active Users::Two separate data analysis firms say the Twitter killer from Instagram has unraveled even as Meta has rushed to add highly requested features.

I would say they didn’t really lose 80%, because they barely had them to start with. If you click a link on Instagram and bam you’re now a Threads user all ‘signed up’ ready to go? I mean yeah the barrier couldn’t be lower there.
Retaining 20% of those users is in fact impressive. That’s many millions of people.
9 mil according to the post.
Pales in comparison to twitters DAU from prepurchase 2022. Who knows what their DAU is now.
It’s still the fastest anyone would have ever reached 9m DAU in the history of the internet I would imagine so if they retain and grow from there is a solid launch.
But it could shrivel and die from here so I suppose it remains to be seen. Ultimately with the barrier of entry so low you can never tell how legit this userbase is, since its not really a natural growth to 9m.
It’s really dishonest to say that’s the fastest anyone reached 9m DAU. Otherwise you could say the same thing about Facebook Messenger.
It’s not any different than Instagram if you’re automatically a part of it by clicking on a link on Instagram
I think it’s only dishonest if those are not retained.
To say they hit 100m is dishonest but if 9m are sticking around? To me, that counts. Those people are on a whole new platform even if the onboarding was simple.
I think what remains to be seen is exactly that: How long before they’re at 4.5M DAU?
Yeah, well I suppose it’ll still be on a downward trend. How long can they go, where does the rollercoaster end haha.
Honestly I suppose you can never know. Past successes don’t guarantee anything and this could be a total flop that gets shit canned in a few years.
What is threads, never heard of it

It was the “shiny new, exciting thing” from a few weeks ago. Millions jumped on it to see what it was. It shouldn’t be a surprise that not all of them stayed
Guys, its my turn to post this tomorrow!
It’ll be 90% by then.

heres thr thing about us, we are 100% in a golden era of lemmy before corporations, bots, and dumbasses who shouldnt be able to vote come. the quality, kindness, and general common sense of the average lemmy user is bound to hurdle eventually. look at reddit for godsake people are openly pedophilic there. the userbase here generally is filtered by those with the motivation to join a foss network / know-how. moderation, botchecking, etc. doesnt need to be hard cause it isnt yet an issue but it will become one and the experience will decline. i suggest federating by time of user creation lmfao

Years before the Cambridge Analytica fiasco, I left Facebook and vowed to never join any platform Zucks touches. Dude just gave me the creeps. One of the best times I ever listened to my vibes.
He’s a robot.
They rushed to release it early and take advantage of the high profile fuck ups at Twitter, it didn’t even come out with a following feed. If even a quarter of users return I’ll be surprised.

Duh, but also the app is literally titled “Threads, an Instagram app”. Using the proper name and not the singular word names Instagram.
It’s stupid, but it’s Zuckerberg’s stupid. Also there’s a ton of people helping run the business, it’s just an ad business, not a social media one.
I mean, wasn’t it obvious this will happen? Most people that joined Threads did it because an Instagram popup told them to. Most of them weren’t even Twitter users in the first place. So why would Threads even stick to a user base that wasn’t even into microblogging in the first place?
Forget the privacy concerns. The issue with Threads is that it’s very unfinished. They assumed the rate limiting was going to be the dumbest thing Elon was going to do, and they rushed it out the door long before it was ready.
It might still succeed, but you only get one chance at a first impression.
The problem with Twitter is that it’s slowly turning to a pile of crap. The amount of spam & NSFW gallore has been wrecking havoc on the platform.
You mention any company that deals with finance and soon your tweet is bombarded with these spams and more. Makes it very difficult to use now.
I agree. I am friends with a few artists on there, and we used to chat through DMs, but now Elon is rate limiting DMs, so we’ve had to move the chats elsewhere. How the hell is it supposed to be an “everything app” if you can’t even send text chats to your friends on the platform? This guy is utterly incompetent, so of course spez wanted to copy him I guess.
Forgot it even existed after the first 48 hours once I stopped seeing posts about it.
If Instagram didn’t add the link, Threads likely would not have that many people.
Social ethics is not something the average people care about. I doubt if Twitter would be in trouble if not for the platform being absolutely terrible, and the non stop short slighted changes that just break things.
Bc they have not released a desktop app or any way for brands or people to interact with it more than just with their stupid phone.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
