It seems like it's too early to judge it on almost anything


It’s a Meta product directly tied to Instagram, I’d be genuinely shocked if this isn’t the high point.


> It seems like it's too early to judge it on almost anything

It's specially too early due to the trainwreck which is Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition. If Musk continues to destroy Twitter, we might see the whole world drop it in favour of Threads.


We are seeing corporate and brand promoting types and 50 million signups the first day. Compared to Mastodon where real people are having real conversations and the numbers are much lower even with a head start. This tells me threads will be a very corporate platform. At least it's offering something different


How is the onboarding process? Are people logging into their instagram and then see some big new button "Threads is here, click to try out!", or along these lines?

Because if I can trust my very quick internet search, instagram has 500 million DAU. So this means 9 out of 10 are not interested in threads?
