On: Threads users down by more than a half

[davidw]

It took a while for people to start linking to Twitter (sorry, X). I'd give it a bit. You can link to stuff though:

Interesting that even without the ability to really use it on the web, Threads already has a better anonymous-user web view than Twitter.

Since the recent changes, on Twitter you can't see replies if you're linked to a tweet while not logged in, and you don't even have any indicator that replies exist and that you could see them with an account. The whole implementation of the changes in that area is a real baffler.

"Already?" Elon broke Twitter's anonymous view just this month?

Seriously dude. It takes more effort to break the web than just use it.

I'm just pointing out that it's been broken to a state where even an app-centric thing like Threads, spun off from web- and anonymous-hostile Instagram no less, is a better experience to link to.
