Usage of the app falls drastically, faster than anyone expected:

1) Daily Active Users dropped from a peak of 45 million when it launched on July 6 to 28 million on July 13. That's approximately 38% lower.

2) Time spent per user has tanked from 20 mins on July 7 to around 5 mins by July 11. That's a 75% reduction in usage over 4 days!

During the same period, Twitter metrics remained virtually unchanged. The exodus many feared yet again did not materialize.

On Friday I tweeted on Tuesday and Wednesday, the app's daily active users (the metric that matters) were down about 20% from Saturday, and the time spent per user was down 50%, from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. These numbers were concerning for Meta at the time, and today things have gotten a lot worse.

This is getting embarrassing for Meta as their app is fast becoming a background download that hardly anyone uses.

This is the exact concern many voiced: Some of Instagrams 2.3 billion users will download the app, yet no one will end up using it.

They convinced less than 2% of their existing users to click a button and then 0.5% remained after a week and the website already has a reputation for being a parade of the worst people on earth. Fucking incredible speedrun there.

Skipping steps in the enshittification sequence seems to be a running gag for "[whatever] killer" things.

Also there's no not-app way to use it, though individual "threds" can be linked to.

I am fine with both Twitter and Threads flopping if it does so long enough for the whatever-verse that Mastadon is part of to actually get its cross-links together well enough to make something that is less "complicated" according to people who don't like it.

Mind you, this is an opinion by someone who never used twitter, facebook, or mastadon, so I just want the already grounded companies to "not win."

Glory to the Unix Twitter with tusks or whichever. I don't like social media, but I will always root for the one(s) that are not owned by obvious political interests.

So people just use instagram now. Really not much reason a Twitter like thing has to be the main communication vessel.

Instagram is honestly really fucking terrible when it comes to thread discussions. Let's say person C responds to person B who is responding to person A, person A will get a notification even though the person C responding to person B had nothing at all to do with person A. This has personally led to past confusion for me as I thought someone was responding to my post when they really weren't. It also has this weird habit of makin posts just disappear temporarily. Sometimes I'll see a like or response to one of my posts, and when I go there the amount of posts that used to be there are reduced (and not in the sense that they are all highly offensive or anything) and sometimes even my own is gone, which is annoying when trying to figure out who is responding to me with what.

And finally, there's no edit button. I don't know who the fuck actually finds that appealing or wise for a discussion setting, however IG recently had this update that allows for a new feature in the comments section, yet they didn't add the damn ability to edit. Really sucks when you type out a lengthy response only to catch some easily fixed mistakes, however cause there's no edit you've then got to choose between retyping that whole thing or looking occasionally illiterate from the perspective of others reading your posts.

For the longest time the thing I disliked most about Twitter was also that there was no edit button, and as much as I dislike Musk, I'll at least give him credit as being the person who finally added one.

An hour on IG doesn't even sound like a lot when you're just scrolling through your wall, especially if it's spread out throughout the day.

Threads will make a comeback

It might. It's a slow adoption as people are only really going to migrate when either (a) all their friends make the move, or (b) twitter finally closes its doors and everyone has to move somewhere.

That's kinda obvious since you have to log into your IG account to use Threads.
Basically, you don't have a Threads account, only IG. Threads is just an extension.

Heck, my i log into IG using my FB account. Pretty sure I can't delete my IG without deleting my FB too.
