It’s garbage and people love it. 🐑

[-] trambe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Lowkey it's pretty garbage lol.

But it's by Facebook and a lot of people are already joining it. I feel like if anyone can compete with twitter it'll be them (even though I genuinely despite Zuck)

[-] trambe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah people just want an alternative to Twitter. As long as it does the primary function (tweet) and has the users, it will grow.

I loved Reddit and Twitter until they made it clear users were not the focus anymore. I’d never lock myself behind those systems again. I made that mistake twice. I use beautifully built 3rd party apps that were cut off at the kneecaps with no warning. I’m here to stay. For some, that meta data mine will be all they want / need, so good for them?

Let people enjoy new things.

It’s meta. It was ruined in the conception stage. No way were there good actors at play at any point in this process.

For social media that’s the plan

meta is.. social media’s number one supplier?

[-] Tigbitties@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure that was the name of the 6th chapter of The Hobbit but it's there has been similar idioms around for a long long time.

Millions joined? Or millions of Facebook/Instagram accounts were imported?

[-] StaggersAndJags@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Probably imported, but that doesn't make them less real. The ease of transferring accounts will be a major advantage for this platform.

[-] red_rising@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

My guess is that a good part of those people are just trying to reserve a good username and then will sit on it.

[-] Hairyblue@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Facebook/meta makes everything terrible.

[-] OutrageousUmpire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Wow. Was not expecting growth so rapidly.

I don't like Meta or Twitter, but I am rooting for Meta in this battle. Just sick of Musk's antics.

At any rate, I've got my popcorn ready.
