I don't see anybody posting there after the first day, save for brand and meme pages

So they peer pressure Insta users to use Threads?

I don't see anything wrong with this

I assumed this was the case and that any reporting on "users" and the "historical" nature of their short time to 10M users was 100% BS.

I think the strategy is great and I would do the same that they are doing, except I'd leave out the bit where I crowed about reaching 10M users in 7 hour or 100M in a few days. It's too obviously a lie supported by the ability to leverage one network into another.

Yeah I heard about a user whose boyfriend had friends and sent an invite on the app. The only problem, the boyfriend hadn't created a threads account.

Add far I remember they did something similar for Facebook/meta/"insert new name here" back then, I remember someone made a lawsuit.

I'm surprised that people think it would be different...

Not being up on (or caring about) what evil Meta is up to I was wondering how they got 90M users overnight, that splains it.

Of course that's why they had so many new accounts so fast! And that's why removing the Threads account also deletes your Instagram one! No way a bad app like that, missing the basic features (front what I've read in reviews), would have so many users so fast!

They're so gross lol

This happened to me. Joined threads and what do I see? Signal and instantly had a bunch of random accounts follow me.

I think I'm sticking to Mastodon and Pixelfed.

That is just messed up.
