totally fair feeling but i’d argue misdirected in this case. he says right up top that it’s still growing. the analysis is nuanced and objective, not a case of “people made me mad on this site so now i’m gonna cheer on its demise”

I don't get why this platform needs to compare to 2012-era Twitter, tho? There are several online communities that serve diff niches -- including X now. Plus, growth ≠ "ghost town" -- the last time a social network achieved this month growth absent a pre-existing user base was a long, long time ago

also fwiw, matt used to be on here a lot more. i assume the fact that he’s on here less now reflects his judgment that it has become less essential to him as a platform. just like i spend less time on threads these days for my own, different reasons (it sucks)

Total sidebar, I know, but Threads really does suck

someone the other day described it to me as "exactly what I'd expect from a Twitter that everyone on Facebook automatically gets signed up for"
