The platform Threads is in Europe. What do you think? Will it replace the X?

I used threads for a while and it was the new kid on the block. It’s now collecting dust in my apps folder. It may be big in Europe for a while but it will fade. I don’t think anything will replace X just yet.

Do not know anyone who use it 🙆🏼‍♀️

The integration of Threads in Europe is indeed a topic worth discussing. As Elena Malneva mentioned, the saturation of social networks is a real concern. Users often seek value and uniqueness in new platforms, something that sets them apart from existing ones like 'X'. Threads' success might hinge on its ability to offer distinctive features or a unique user experience. It’s also crucial for any social platform to respect user privacy and not to overload its users with redundant features. Do you think Threads could offer something different to the European market compared to 'X'?

Don't know. It didn't survive the indian market

It's the first time I've heard about it. What are its features?

I signed up when it first launched in the US. In my opinion it didn't offer any value over what X/Twitter delivers so I quit using it after a day or two.

Not soon in any case.

Too many social media platforms by one conglomerate, Personally I think Meta is in overreach mode. They may have some cool Vision gear/Mixed Reality stuff coming soon to compete with Apple but I think Meta may have reached their Myspace moment of zenith, I see them slowly losing ground to newer platforms probably launched by AI or ML based companies or go users going back to X and start repopulating reddit and other forums too.

I don't Think threads will ever surpass X. The communities on each platform are different and threads just seems like an extension of Instagram- It basically forces you to log in with your IG account. I personally prefer X and I feel like these companies should stop trying to copy each other so much. Instead, they should focus on the things that their users need from them- like better support teams.

Threads seems better at connecting you outside of a specific interest. Most social networks get you in an echo chamber quickly. There seems to be more variety in terms of connections and recommendations on Threads.

Personally , I’m waiting to see which Twitter alternative everyone else settles on. Which I suspect too many people are doing to make any platform viable. My prediction is that Elon will get distracted and sell Twitter at a massive loss and all the replacements will fall into disuse
