    Wow. So they leeched their own users off instagram, didn’t keep their attention with its sterile environment causing usage to drop 20% after the first week, and now this? lmao

        Yup. Most people go on to poke around a bit and make sure their handle is secured. Keeping a user around is what proves difficult.

      I’d be willing to bet that Lemmy’s traffic also dropped off after the initial wave of Reddit users checking it out died down. This is normal. A drop of 20% would be more than a good outcome, given how many Instagram users never even had Twitter to begin with and would have just been idly checking in on the hype.

      I know people want Threads to fail, and I won’t pretend to have any huge love for Meta, but I’d really like to see discussions here be at least loosely based in reality rather than devolving into mindless screeching.
