Social media's changing again. Explicit platforms might be going away.

Let's see what happens with their next platform.

I’m a bit of a dinosaur admittedly but pretty much the only place I’ve seen any discussion of Threads is here. Not a good sign

You all are getting your information not by being on the platform, but by reading about it online. Which, c'mon man.
In general terms, it's interesting to me they're trying to integrate platforms, which I don't think is going away anytime soon. It's a total guess of mine, but I think we're going to see more attempts at that. It's beneficial both to users and in the social media companies who harvest user data. Especially interesting is how Threads is influencing Instagram and vice versa. There's a lot of back and forth.
In specific terms, I see more activity on the platform every day. My experience is completely contrary to these articles, but there are specific reasons for that and I think my experience is very much an outlier. I have no doubt there was a lot of initial interest that's starting to wane.
Please love yourself.

Sorry, I’m too busy fighting the Russians to spend much time on Threads

That's one of the reasons I go on Threads—to take a break from information related to total global decline.

Rome was not built in a day. I think we'll see increasing interest from those who value what it offers.

For a second week in a row, the number of daily active users declined on Threads, falling to 13 million, down about 70% from a July 7 peak, according to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.
The average time users spend on the iOS and Android apps has also decreased to four minutes from 19 minutes. The average time spent for Android users in the U.S. dropped to five minutes from a peak of 21 minutes on launch day, according to SimilarWeb, a digital data and analytics company.
Twitter’s daily active users remain steady at about 200 million, and average time spent is at 30 minutes a day, according to Sensor Tower estimates.
Meta executives have said they expected an eventual decline after the app gained more than 100 million sign-ups within a week of its launching earlier this month. They have signaled that they don’t see the falloff as worrisome and have said they are working on additional features. Meta aims to increase the number of users and improve the experience before trying to monetize the platform. -
Opposite for me.

About 500K users per day.
That's almost as bad as CNN.

Meta's Threads website is now live for everyone
Threads users who've been asking for a working website since the social network launched in early July finally have their wish. As of Thursday, Meta's new platform is fully accessible to all users from any computer and desktop browser, Instagram head Adam Mosseri confirmed in a new Threads post.
The official launch follows a Threads post from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday that showed him in front of a PC seemingly working on the website. In the post, Zuckerberg revealed that the site would be rolling out over the next few days.
One of the most requested features from Threads users, the web version lets you sign in with your account credentials, access your entire news feed, respond to posts, and create your own posts from your PC.
Best comment: "Both the remaining users are reportedly pleased by this news."

What's its marketing push again? That here, we'll enforce the pop culture politics of the day, via strict censorship?

FB and IG are stagnating. Could be they see this as their lifeboat.
And they're still getting new users accustomed to the platform before they reach 1 million, after which they'll start ads and basically ruin everything.
The takeaway is that social media is a lot like military campaigns: Americans know how to go in, disrupt shit, build and let things die but we sure don't know how to sustain anything.
The tech is really what to watch for, though. Carrying your community across platforms would certainly change things.
