Threads Has Lost More Than 80% of Its Daily Active Users::Two separate data analysis firms say the Twitter killer from Instagram has unraveled even as Meta has rushed to add highly requested features.

Any downfall of Meta (former Facebook ) is a victory for FOSS community, internet and mankind as a whole. One of the heads of the Hydra Big Tech.
Unless Google goes down, free internet doesn’t have a great outlook.
You do understand that Meta actually releases a ton of FOSS right? The LLM API that most machine learning algorithms use is based off Meta’s open sourced language model. I don’t like Meta as much as the next guy, but they do SOME good things every once in a while.
I know but when you consider the whole picture the result is bad for everyone and for the internet.
Threads has lost more than 80% of its daily active users…so far
Anyone think Fediverse active userbase is going to fall as much too, only slower? That most people will return to their comfy commercial social networks now that the reddit and twitter demonstrations is in the past?
I’m hoping not. I like it this active. I don’t want to go back to ads and “personalised” feeds and yearly new useless features.
I don’t think so. If you look at Mastodon it could actually keep most of its users and still seems to be growing.
Of course I don’t know what the future holds for us.
I came here due to the reddit drama and I’m definitely staying. Just like you, I like it here. The hardest part was actually making the switch, creating an account and finding communities to join. Now that that’s out of the way, I really have no reason to go back. Reddit has become a hostile place, admins are actively fighting users and especially mods and I just don’t feel comfortable there anymore.
It’s like going to a restaurant where the owner is hitting the waiters and some of the guests. Doesn’t matter how good the food is, doesn’t matter if they’re hitting me or not, I’m never going back to that place.
Anyone think Fediverse active userbase is going to fall as much too, only slower?
I don’t think so, people who joined already are here for philosophical reasons that are stronger than FOMO or slight technical discomfort, and the platform is already good enough to keep us entertained.
Bc they have not released a desktop app or any way for brands or people to interact with it more than just with their stupid phone.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Similarweb, a digital intelligence platform, shared its data with Gizmodo showing Threads daily active users hovered around 49 million just two days after launch.
David Carr, a senior insights manager at the analysis company, told us the engagement time based on just U.S. user data was slightly more favorable to Threads, but not by much.
Back during its 15 minutes of fame, Threads was leveraged as the fastest-growing platform in the history of apps, hitting 100 million user signups less than a week after launch.
Instagram head Amad Mosseri has also mentioned their intent to connect Threads to the decentralized Fediverse, though whether that drives new-found interest in the app is anyone’s guess.
It was clear from Thread’s launch that users were desperate for a Twitter alternative away from owner Elon Musk’s unending march toward making the platform a pay-to-play hellscape.
A big problem with the app was that it simply didn’t include features found in its main competitors, and the company spent years playing catch up, but all in vain.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
In general, noticeable drop after the initial hype is expected and usual. I’m sure, there are a lot of dead accounts on lemmy as well.
In case of threads the initial jump was super huge (because of several reasons), so is the drop. 20% is still a lot, and people already have an account there, some of them can return later.
Forgot it even existed after the first 48 hours once I stopped seeing posts about it.
