thread 1/3
My prediction was spot on, but the past month also revealed something else. Even with 100 million users and high-profile accounts posting daily, engagement quickly plummeted. Why? What happened? It's clear the missing ingredient is a dedicated and loyal community. That is how we take the crown. 👑

All of these people touting Threads greatness were already on Instagram. At some point, they will have to bring in new users, and it's a hard sell to get someone new to install two apps. There will be a large segment of users that will never join Threads and no longer want to be on Twitter.

So the assumption that we need more news outlets or high-profile people to compete is false. Threads proved that for us. What we need is more users who had enough of the targeted harassment, abuse, and disinformation. More users who are seeking something safer and believe in what we are building.

Yesterday, only four Twitter alternatives were trending. Threads, Bluesky, Spoutible, and Mastodon. So although journalists might be ignoring us now, it's obvious the people who matter aren't. Let the journalists focus on the Goliaths while we build something special that will have longevity.

Too many journalists seem to enjoy swimming in the cesspool. Gets them clicks! I love it here! Thank you for building this site! ❤️🤗

Personally, I think there is a growing number of people who realize that "the news" is no longer "Walter Cronkite World" and that celebrity anchors do NOT join conversations, and they are scope-locked on ratings/money. I'll take the conversations and the safer atmosphere on Spoutible any day.

Threads puts things into the feed from hours if not days in the past
Mastodon proved too confusing (I'm no Ludite but...)
I have not received a Bluesky invite
Most of the best of my followings have migrated here and I appreciate the new accounts I have connected with only on this platform

I never tried Threads or Bluesky and don't intend to. I still don't understand Mastodon and often forget to even post there. #Spoutible is where I check when I first get up, where I can't wait to get back to and think about when I'm doing other things.

I feel it.

I bet you do too.

I don’t have much faith in mainstream media or so-called “high profile people”
I’m patiently waiting for specific kinds of scientists to show up!

Since yesterday's announcement that X will block blocking, I got active here. Threads is Facebook with strangers. I want news. I want to engage on current events, democracy, saving our nation. SPOUTABLE works! Let's build something!

Agreed. I think the people who matter are either here, or will be here.
