Are people still using Threads?

Everyone was talking about Threads a ton for the first week it came out and I haven’t seen or heard anything about it since. Is that because everyone is on it or is it DOA?

Personally I joined the first day and then deleted it that same day when I realized I am already on social media too much. Thoughts? Also curious as to what’s keeping you on it?

... Read moreSince its launch, Threads has sparked considerable discussion about its viability in the competitive social media landscape. Many users initially flocked to the platform, driven by curiosity and the desire for a fresh alternative to Instagram and Twitter. However, as time went on, user engagement appeared to wane. It's essential to analyze what makes or breaks a social platform. Key factors include user interface, community engagement, and the unique offerings it provides compared to existing platforms like Discord, Reddit, and Instagram. Threads aimed to create a more intimate space for discussion but faced challenges in retaining users post-launch. User sentiment on forums highlights a mix of frustration and ambivalence towards Threads. Some users express their inclination to deactive or mute notifications, citing social media overload. Meanwhile, others see potential, advocating for more features that cater to community building and content discovery. Understanding these dynamics is crucial not only for predicting the platform's longevity but also for users weighing the merits of remaining active on Threads. Is it just a temporary trend, or can it evolve into a significant player in the social media arena? Time will tell.

A social media post by drjenwolkin states, "We're neurodivergent, we're not using AI to write our posts. AI is using OUR linguistic cadence." The post shows 2.1K likes, 113 comments, 226 shares, and 18 sends, set against a subtle brain network background.
A lot of neurodivergent people write in ways that AI detectors mistakenly flag.
So for example, we can write in ways that are highly structured, pattern-based, very precise, info-dense, or “overly polished” from years of masking, scripting, academia, or overexplaining for clarity. My patients are being flagged at work and at school. So, serious question: how many of us

Why are we still using Facebook?
I permanently deleted my account 4–5 years ago, and I still wonder why people continue to use it. We now know that the government enabled manipulation and censorship, and Facebook allowed it to happen. That’s a clear sign that Facebook cannot be trusted! #facebook #whyideleted #opinion #trut
