    And that's really too bad. Twitter actually is a horrible, very non-intuitive platform. I have a pal who wrote a NYT bestseller about Twitter. He calls it "a clown car that got lucky."

    I have never understood it... I get that media can use the heck out of it, but the average everyday person... I don't get it.

    I actually have no problem with Twitter. Use it all day everyday. Just thought this was interesting.

    I quit Twitter when Elon took over and it actually really improved my life, so this isn't going to tempt me.

    It’s only been up 1 day, hoping they will work those kinks out. Man I remember when Twitter first started, it was a mess.

    You need a big user base of varying opinions to generate conversations and interest. Mastodon just became a bunch of liberal millennials with their nuts in a sling waiting for something interesting to happen. I think Threads has potential if it can exist in a way that attracts neutral users. If it's just Gab for people who hate Musk, I don't think the average person is emotionally invested in that war enough to make a permanent switch. I'm probably wrong and will have a Threads tattoo above my ass within the year, who knows. Definitely the most competently run Twitter alternative I've seen thus far.
