Absolutely it’s a choice between the lesser of two evils.
It sounds kinda silly, but I’ve personally found a lot of value in the fact that Threads feels largely like a total reset.
I started a personal twitter account about 4 years ago and had a really hard time getting traction. Threads has been much easier in this regard since it’s less crowded. Whether it stays that way or not, there’s something refreshing about it. I guess I’m way more interested in what Threads could be tomorrow than I am about what Twitter is today.
Probably too late now, but if someone did make a Twitter / Threads alternative, who wasn't a dickhead...who was trustworthy and cared about users, they would probably kill it right now.
Maybe, but unfortunately I see the adoption of Threads as further proof that owning the social graph is key to rapid adoption of a competitor platform. There’s no one else on the planet that could get to 100M users in a matter of days and Zuckerberg knows this very well. Threads was an opportunity for him to do what knows best: capturing a user base. Hard to see how anyone seriously competes on that front.
