It's day one for Threads, Meta's new Twitter clone, and new users are signing up in impressively huge numbers already.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's mostly better than twitter, in that it actually functions reasonably well, and it's obviously considerably worse than Mastodon (especially compared to the Ivory app)
- The biggest downside is the timeline seems to show a mixture of accounts you follow and other accounts, seemingly suggested accounts that it thinks you might want to follow. I can't see any way to only see posts from accounts you follow.
- The timeline isn't chronological and I can't see a way to make it chronological
- You can't edit posts

Their competition is with Twitter. They are not competing with Mastodon (atleast for now).
True, this is just from my own perspective, and I use Mastodon.
Can’t believe you pay a subscription to use a proprietary mastodon app
Are you saying twitter doesn’t function well? In what way? I’m not a massive twitter user but have never had a problem on the iOS app.
The app has become a lot buggier in my experience, but most concerning of all is the ability to read tweets at all is being restricted: https://www.reuters.com/technology/what-does-twitter-rate-limit-exceeded-mean-users-2023-07-03/
