The fact that anyone who matters still uses that site just highlights abject failure of other companies to produce a satisfactory replacement. They’ve had years. With all their money and experience with social media, how has Meta failed to make Threads comparable to the old Twitter?

Market pressures are very different than they were when social media first took off. People want to be where their friends already are now. Back then, they would bring their friends to platforms.

is it really that all the alternatives are worse than twitter? i never used twitter but mastodon/miskey seem pretty feature rich, especially with the right client. i assumed that the reason so many people did not switch is network effect and unwillingness to change habits

Meta and X are predatory, they buy up the start ups and close them so no one will ever compete.
