I fucking KNEW it.
35 million users my asshole - they’re just counting existing Instagram accounts.

Lemmy.world is garbage. Come to Lemmy.ml where Zuckerberg is not present.
Yeah, even just 3% could be very meaningful because it could be a lot of content creators who hopped ship.
And judging by how much content we have here on Lemmy - yeah, I’m thinking Reddit lost a bunch of valuable users and will only get worse with time.
I’m using WefWef.app for Lemmy and it’s awesome.
It’s a straight-up Apollo clone as a web app.
I am floored.
I’ll be shocked if Threads is relevant within two months.
Yes, unfortunately.
Don’t get complacent. Vote.
Nobody should use anything this guy is involved with.
3 more months of rioting.
HydroHomies is BACK!
Zero sympathy for anyone who lost their money on NFTs or BitCoin.
OceanGate submersible level stupidity anyone should’ve seen coming.
Good automation solves problems rapidly.
Bad automation creates problems rapidly.
Doesn’t seem to be worth the risk.
No, sorry.
We know exactly what Zuckerbag is all about.
Not a chance.
I’ll hop right the fuck off Lemmy in a heartbeat.
Not meaning to be rude at all but - do you remember the 2016 election?
These people will vote for anyone who is not a Democrat.
They don’t care about policy, they don’t care about honesty, they don’t care about personality.
All they want is to be able to say “we won!”
They’ll polish that turd DeSantis right up in their minds and pull the lever for him.
Make no mistake.
Why?
Because Instagram did the same BS with their “Notes” feature recently and now nobody uses it.
You were automatically enrolled and it showed up on your feed and three months later, it’s crickets.
As much as I hate Twitter, I don’t think Threads is going to make a dent in the long run.
Zines are making a comeback!
Who the hell is Reddit?
I appreciate your integrity.
I gotta say though - I don’t know how anyone could see it any other way after 2016.
Republicans would vote for a plastic shopping bag if it ran against a Democrat.
They’re childish people fighting an invisible enemy of “wokeness” and all these other bullshit buzzwords and culture wars.
If Trump isn’t the nominee, they will vote for DeSantis. If DeSantis isn’t the nominee, they will vote for a plastic shopping bag with an “R” Sharpie’d onto it.
If Lemmy.world federates with Meta/Threads, I will delete my accounts and ditch Lemmy altogether.
It’s shameful that this is even up for discussion.
What an embarrassment.
Ohhhh, like Twitter?
The “guy standing in the driveway” just outed a woman to authorities for trying to get an abortion.
We already know he is a bad actor.
“Wait and see” is bullshit.
Facebook/Meta is THE largest social network and one of the oldest active ones.
We’ve seen it all.
There’s no reason to wait.
Defederate.
I’m deleting my .world accounts now and moving to .ml.
Impeccable username.
I’m not sure how you can see it any other way.
They had a successful platform (Instagram) and piggybacked a new platform on top and are counting the users toward their numbers.
If Zuckerbag released Threads without being tied to Instagram, it’d be a queef in the wind of a userbase.
It’s a clever strategy. For sure. I won’t pretend it’s not.
But seeing how “Notes” went - I don’t think it’s gonna go very far.
It’s like if McDonald’s started selling hotdogs from their stores under a separate store within their restaurants.
“McDog’s has over 1 billion served!”
No, McDonald’s does - you just put another product under the same roof by a different name.
I think I’m just going to wipe my account and ditch altogether.
There is absolutely no valid reason Lemmy should have any association with Meta, no matter how vague or distant.
I’m out.
How do I switch any existing username? Is that possible?
I love the fact that there’s no “automoderator” or “amputator-bot” on Lemmy.
That shit was obnoxious.
It’s a useful tool but it’s obnoxious without Apollo allowing you to collapse it.
The people who negotiate your medical claims make more money on the settlement commissions than the doctors even make from their procedures.
And there’s like 25-40 people total who handle the claims for every single health insurance company.
