Threads’ daily mobile usage has quietly surpassed X as Meta leans on cross-promotion, creator tools and fast feature rollouts — even as X faces fresh controversies
Whoever wins, we lose.

Sad news, platform where I’m shadowbanned overtaken by platform whose owners fully banned me from facebook
I’m shadow banned everywhere. These companies must have a file on me which they share with each other. Social media is just a waste of time now. I’m not even allowed to criticise the Ukrainian government any more.
I’m kinda surprised, I saw something from threads get posted on HN today, and it was a surprise to me because I hadn’t seen anything from threads in months. I see stuff from x/twitter and Blue sky a lot (and very rarely mastodon), but threads has just kinda disappeared from everywhere I interact with people online.
I kinda figured it died when the twitter exodus crowd moved on to Blue sky.
Hopefully EU remembers that Meta committed to ensuring interoperability of Threads when entering EU market because Meta surely doesn’t.
META is mostly bots compared to reddit and X. im not surprised if its very close to 95%
Oh X is mostly bots too, don’t you worry
Threads is 1% better than x
Wonder how much is just bots
they have one that controls the company.
Are we sure it is not a case of Threads standing still while Twitter reverses past them?
So, from shit tier oligarch to not-so-much-but-still shit tier oligarch.

In other news: Trash truck passes port-a-potty pumper truck on expressway.

I object. Trash trucks and pump trucks serve an important purpose. Social media does not.
