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.

When one googles spoutible/Bouzy one will get mainly results of Iconic Expert scam warnings & conspiracy theories regarding Amber Heard & Meghan Markle. As well some talk about security breaches of spoutible.

Personally, it’s only USA politics here & I am not good in starting from scratch.

The Heard/Markle stuff is because Bot Sentinel helped expose some of the tactics the harassment campaigns against them were using, and the harassers didn't like that.

Yes exactly. That’s why I called it conspiracy. It’s quiet insane how deep they went/still go into the rabbit hole.

For the Bitcoin thing it seems to stem from racism and misogyny. And I don’t have enough knowledge about those things, anyway.

It was more an observation without any judgement.
