Facebooks Threads is definitely going to be a failure. There is little point of going for Twitter audience. People want and need new social experiences, things that do no exist today.
Long term definitely. Medium, likely. But short term users clearly need a more comfortable bridge between the experiences we’re all familiar with and the new social autonomy promised by web3. Lens profiles aren’t widely available yet. User owned and social group mediated moderation is a massive unsolved problem still. Bots aren’t solved either. What platforms will give people temporary life rafts off the flaming mess that is Twitter until they get more believable on-ramps into web3 social? I’d bet on tumblr and maybe threads, short term. Mastodon clearly isn’t it
1I think so too but it's still one the biggest companies out there so definitely excited what they have planed. Can't imagine it's going to be a Clubhouse 2.0
0As people understand and value their personal data and know that no one has the right to use it without their consent, one by one will migrate to the web3. There will come a time when it will not be only about functionality, but it will be about the purpose that the social network sustains. P2P Era is on 🚀 💞
1Facebook is dead. Twitter is dying.
Lens is the future and the future is now.6Facebook, as a social media app, trying to invent/propose something innovative would be like 😂there is a significant governance issue
The real inquiry would be, who uses Facebook in 2023? The amusing philosophical observation is that those who still use it are terrified of innovations, like blockchains et alia
3I suppose it actually depends on how Threads is integrated into the other Meta apps. They have 1 billion + users, so if its convenient to use within their ecosystem of apps then people will use it, as its just the way humans work. Every little convenience no matter how small is taken.
4I think sometimes its more about power and politics , not necessary generating money . The more data they collect .....
1The entire social media market has become so saturated in just like two years aswell. I don't know how they expect to capture an audience, but let's see lol
