Meta's Twitter rival Threads explodes to 70 million signups one day after launch - Lemmy.world

I’m almost willing to put money on the fact Facebook likely has shady stuff buried in “Threads” code. The sheer invasiveness of them just makes it hard to think otherwise.
That’s for sure, they don’t have to hide it either just look at the app permissions on the App Store
Wild that people just don’t mind being exploited by a social network like that.

The majority are either commercial accounts and “influencers” or placeholder accounts for Instagram users.

There have already been cases of people who never even downloaded the app being recommended to other people because they have an Instagram account.

This is also evidence that bluesky is going to Google+ themselves out of a market share by slow rolling so much.
