Typical fear of missing out behavior. Folks flock to Threads to see what it's all about, see that it actually sucks, and bail.
Yeah FOMO is a helluva drug. I'd be willing to bet that while there are plenty of users on the newplaform, people actually posting is not there yet, and with the lack of content for users to doom scroll they're hopping back to whatever app they came from. Most people don't give two shits about actually engaging with a given userbase, they just want to doom scroll content and zone out.
Why did they start calling it "Doom scrolling?"
I prefer Doom Metal.
