I don't get Threads.
I don't get why it's popular.
I don't know why it exists.
@ernie fb is good and easy for small biz - to an extent - you have to build a wall and have better links elsewhere, fb will consume you if you are not careful? possibly, they are sort of open source ai voice but even that is pretty compromised #spiderfoot without the api calls
@ernie we know why it exists: FB wanted to take Twit users who wanted to leave but were too confused by Mastodon.
I don't think they've succeeded, but Musk could always do something to make Twit even worse.
@ernie I like it better here. I just need more of my social net to either come here or enable Fediverse sharing there
@ernie I dunno how popular it is, but it’s “easy” and because of the Instagram link they have a huge density of users.
On the other hand the interface is garbage, the interactions are routinely musk Twitter/FB level terrible.
Gripping hand, I’m glad I can follow folks on there from here, but otherwise I share your bemusement.
