I don't think Threads can truly threaten Twitter.

Does everyone remember Damus a few months ago? It was all the rage when it was first released, and everyone jumped on it to play. But now, in just a few months, it has completely been forgotten, right?

I'm just happy that Twitter has competition now.

I believe it has the potential to become a formidable competitor in the future. Meta seems to have had a forward-thinking approach when they introduced it as an add-on for Instagram, indicating their focus on future developments and market trends.

I highly disagree and wrote a post on why it will take over Twitter. You can read it on LinkedIn. It is based on learnings from @eugenewei's blog post Status as a Service.

And you are extremely right.

I don't think so either. I don't think this will be the end of Twitter, it's too large & has too many loyal followers with large follower-bases. I actually wrote a debate on this exact topic - https://debates.db8.com/p/will-m...

Launching soon!
Thing is. you carry over all your insta followers etc. So they can bootstrap the social graph from day 1. No other new SoMe has that leverage.

The chaos of Twitter is hard to steal😅 But you'll never know

I see a kind of rhetoric claiming that Threads has reached 100 million users in three days, 200 million users in a week, on par with Twitter, and 500 million users in a month, dominating the market... This kind of rhetoric is reminiscent of the claims made last February about "completing a game in 1 hour and 22 minutes." Without saying anything else, let's start by consistently posting and commenting on Threads every day for a month. Acquiring users for social products is not easy, and even more challenging is retaining them for the long term.
