I called it back when threads first came out that it would do just fine. Seems to be the case. 

In hindsight, Farcaster's biggest fumble was not believing that it had a fighting chance against twitter. Seems like the stance has changed now and imo it's still very possible to win. 


I am still not on threads tho lmao, I hate insta. I really want FC to win.

I still think that's mostly correct.

1. What's a post on Threads that was upstream of something in culture (vs. X / Twitter or Bluesky)?

2. 275M MAU but using dark patterns to get normies to open the app via Instagram notifications != a thriving competitor to X / Twitter

Appreciate the response 

1- seen some funny threads posts on other websites  but wouldn't call them too culturally important so I concede here 

2- doesnt change the fact that threads is also a heavily downloaded app that hasn't been deserted the way many were expecting it to. If people found the notifications that annoying then they would simply delete their threads account.

2. I don't think average consumers delete apps often. And it's not the Threads app with the notification -- it's a sneaky in-app notification in Instagram.
