Meta’s new text-based social app Threads has quickly gained 100 million users since launching last week, which appears to be negatively impacting traffic on Twitter. According to web analytics, Twitter traffic declined 5-11% over the first two days Threads was available compared to the previous week. Threads was able to grow rapidly by allowing users to sign up with their existing Instagram accounts and bring over some of their followers. However, Threads has not yet launched in Europe due to regulatory issues. The fast growth of Threads may solidify its position as a real competitor to Twitter, which has over 238 million daily active users.

      Exactly, because that’s the line for centrists. Bigoted and hateful statements are perfectly acceptable in cynical corporate “neutral” spaces if they’re framed “politely.” As long as the bad words aren’t used, they’re permitted. Libsoftiktok wants nothing less than the total elimination of certain populations of people and there’s no way in reality that that should be an acceptable topic of political discussion regardless of word choice.
