I don't see anything wrong with this

I don't see anybody posting there after the first day, save for brand and meme pages

So they peer pressure Insta users to use Threads?

I assumed this was the case and that any reporting on "users" and the "historical" nature of their short time to 10M users was 100% BS.

I think the strategy is great and I would do the same that they are doing, except I'd leave out the bit where I crowed about reaching 10M users in 7 hour or 100M in a few days. It's too obviously a lie supported by the ability to leverage one network into another.

That is just messed up.

Not being up on (or caring about) what evil Meta is up to I was wondering how they got 90M users overnight, that splains it.

Add far I remember they did something similar for Facebook/meta/"insert new name here" back then, I remember someone made a lawsuit.

I'm surprised that people think it would be different...

This happened to me. Joined threads and what do I see? Signal and instantly had a bunch of random accounts follow me.

I think I'm sticking to Mastodon and Pixelfed.

Holy shit that's why they bundled it in with Instagram? So they can inflate the adoption rate?

Shocking

Yeah I heard about a user whose boyfriend had friends and sent an invite on the app. The only problem, the boyfriend hadn't created a threads account.

Of course that's why they had so many new accounts so fast! And that's why removing the Threads account also deletes your Instagram one! No way a bad app like that, missing the basic features (front what I've read in reviews), would have so many users so fast!
