They gave up all their personal data to see a crappy algo-driven social media site. Meta still considers this a win.

The real answer is nothing, assuming they already had an Instagram account. People are all up in arms, but the majority of 'signups' were just people clicking the activation button as opposed to creating a new account.
That said, I currently will praise anything that takes more users away from Twitter. Lesser of two evils and all that.

Not that I disagree much, but... what a world we live in where Meta is the lesser of two evils...

Mikelius @lemmy.world I’d argue Meta takes the cake just with Cambridge Analytica in terms of damage. Let alone all the other shit. But yeah, choose between ebola and the black plague…

Plus, Elon is more likely to run Twitter into the ground than Zuck is Meta, so that alone makes Meta the bigger threat.

I agree, it’s amazing. Musk has been such a dumbfuck that he has managed to make Mark Zuckerberg look good by comparison.

Meltbox @lemmy.world As LTT said. Threads is the result of the Zuck flicking his tongue out and tasting blood.
But I mean we (society, not me, miss me with that) are still clearly subscribing to a social media site run by the lizard people and calling it an improvement.
Which says a lot.

jdsquared @lemmy.world Zuck is not a lesser evil. He's the same evil. And Jeffrey bezos this week is having a laugh because nobody's paying attention to him at the moment.

I'm going to assume not all new users were Instagram users.
10 1 Replycan @sh.itjust.works Pretty sure all new users are required to have an Instagram? I know for sure the two are linked. No deleting Threads without deleting your Insta.

I feel like what you're talking about is complaining about someone taking a dump on another, much larger pile of crap.
If you were already on Instagram that ship has sailed.

They got nothing new. Just a few shitposts from Instagram users saying “I’m on Threads.”
