Alive human beings or just alive beings? I’m sure there are a few feline or canine accounts here.

I think this is how almost everyone ends up there 🤣

They are using the darkest of UX dark patterns to trick people into “joining” Threads.

I think the simplest explanation is there are 300 million ppl every month who accidentally clicked on a "recommended" Threads post appeared in Instagram or Facebook Disclosure: I accidentally do that at least twice a month

Same.

I mean if you were trying to get a number to show advertisers re: how many would see their ad on your front page, it would still be more honest than what meta is doing

I’m back and forth between desktop and app. I had no idea half my use wasn’t being counted!

I don’t know a single person who uses Threads… and I wouldn’t use it if it were the only platform left. Fuckerberg deserves jail, not profit. Oh, and someone should tell him that he will never actually be a real boy.

Meta is still Meta and they really don't want to send traffic outside their ecosystem. I'm betting they're double-dipping Instagram users and I suspect it's more about managers gaming internal company metrics than anything else.

Are you sure they're properly sending referer info? I know phone apps are bad about that, which is why that go.bsky.app redirect thing exists on here.

Obviously BS numbers. Yet everyone takes it as true when OpenAi says 1 out of every 7 people on the planet regularly use ChatGPT.

I just blew the dust off “META”‘s logo and it turns out the full logo is “Our METrics Are fake.”🤔

Y'know, I follow the Ukraine war obsessively and find Threads extremely valuable for that. It's densely networked with Ukrainian activists and analysts.

Meta is definitely up to shenanigans with those numbers.
