Ok — this could be the start of the continuation of the mass migration from X (considering Elon is deprecating the Block feature on his network), another well-timed launch from Meta!

@chrismessina I'd really doubt that

@maxdo why do you say that?

@chrismessina I think Elon deprecated the block feature because people where blocking blue-badgers as a protest. Reminds me a bit when china bans white paper because people were using white paper to say nothing as a protest. So we are seeing where this is going with the one supreme ruler ethos etc.

@sentry_co Here it’s a choice between Elon and Zuckerberg, both of them making solo decisions for the platforms. Either one you choose isn’t great, Zuckerberg has a worse history.

@chrismessina On my opinion block isn’t a big feature to give up the platform for, Threads had a good marketing campaign and growth initially but most people haven’t got to stick to it. If you switch to threads, you’re changing one platform with a super rich CEO to another platform with also a super rich CEO.

Your ProductHunt launch is a symphony of innovation, bravo!
max
Threads really looking like a product born dead, visually like an instagram fork without images or reels pushed onto you... I migrated to nostr instead, no ads or instagram integrations 😌
Paul Balogh
@maxdo on the contrary: it looks like a highly usable minimalistic interface modern product. Ready to spread its wings. With a virtually zero level of toxicity. A pleasure to use.
max
@paulbalogh_line21 Interesting opinion but I don’t think it reflects reality, for this kind of app there’s nothing to use, it’s made to consume information content creators share and I think it’s a matter of time before they start showing ads there if it’ll still be alive.
Paul Balogh
@maxdo so you are not talking about "Threads" you are talking about "this kind of app". What kind? Twitter-like? (i.e. social media based on ads)? Of course they will show some ads in the future, but Twitter sorely needed competition. Now they have it.
max
@paulbalogh_line21 This kind - centralized.

@maxdo I am on Mastodon, nowhere near Threads in terms of quality or engagement. Sorry to say that.

It is not accessible on the, it wants me to download the mobile app, are you sure it is out?

@omergulenn rolling out this week.
Ömer Gülen
@chrismessina oh okay, thanks for the clarification! 🙌
Might actually use it now!

I really like Threads, even though I’ve not opened FB for years. Hope you’ll be able to deploy it in a Europe soon!
Lucas Pilzen
Sweet. I hope we’ll have it here in Europe too soon!
Adam Lasnik
@lucas_pilzen I read that that is expected to take "months" so... probably not this week, unfortunately :(

Great job, guys! Upvoted. Good luck! 🔥🔥
Sajad Sergio Sadick
It appears to be decent! Can't wait to explore it.

Thumbs up: Snappiness, low latency in general (except with posting) Can improve: Remove modal-style reply so that one can see the full thread and optionally scroll. Also, WTH is up with all the spam / clearly ChatGPT-generated comments here? Is it really that lucrative to game PH?!? (yes, I've reported the half-a-dozen+ crap comments)
Peg Fitzpatrick
Very clean! I love it.

It's a copycat app..no one's interested, thanks.
Mayank Raj
Poor app
Ben Cunningham
love it.

Desktop version so helpful for me because I'm just not an apps kind of Guy.
