Most of the 100 million people who signed up for Threads stopped using it::“We’re seeing more people coming back daily than I’d expected,” Zuckerberg said.
So we’re gonna sit here and pretend that there weren’t automatic sign-ups for Instagram users? They got signed up without choice. Facebook did that.
Edit: I was wrong! I remember reading about this early on, but I think I read misinformation. Sorry about that.
It wasn’t automatic. Not sure where you got that idea. But you had to get the app and then sign in using your Instagram account to set up the thread profile. They had “shadow copies” of your Instagram profiles on threads so for example you could sub to someone’s profile and when they’d join threads you’d get their activities. But no it wasn’t automatic.
Upvoted for your edit. Publicly admitting you’re wrong has become too rare.
