Given the state -- political as well as in terms of manipulation of stock prices and such -- I don't accept any of the statements.

While it's been decades, the echoes of Ken Lay saying nothing was wrong with Enron days before its collapse suggests skepticism, and plenty of it.

100 million is a whole lot of bots. The deep state/zuck site is basically GhatGPT talking to itself.

Dems will go to Zuck

They will be in an echo chamber with fellow Dems, like DU. They want to convince independents to vote Dem, so unless lots of independents go to threads, they will have to return to Twitter.

Musk’s Twitter is bleeding.

Zucker is far far worse. Anything he touches hates us on the Right.

I’ve been on Twitter 14 years. Have lots of history there. Once my typical “impression stats were 400,000-500,000. Recently it was almost zero. I caught them in their own stats trap and complained now it is up around 10,000 ; the percentage of change is HUGE.

The censoring on Twitter is done external by dozens of Fed Gov and academic and Not for Profit organization.

They have been exposed and the Judge just told them they could not censor for the Gov.

We will see how that case reaches it’s final conclusion.

The O’Biden regime cannot stand without the Lies, Propaganda and Censorship.

May God expose all of this evil.

Leftists can’t tolerate dissent because they can’t defend Pollyanna

I use twitter and haven’t been moderated once despite a couple of warnings

Instagram and TikTok are much more intrusive by comparison

It was a self-immolation on Twitter’s part, for whatever reason.

They at the same time blocked all access to tweets and tweeters for those who weren’t signed up for and logged in on Twitter.

Since then, they have relented a bit by letting some tweets be seen from such “non-users”.

Well the article talks about Twitter traffic "tanking" but never states the actual numbers, which I strongly suspect are still much greater than those touted for Threads.

No doubt Threads is going to get a ton of signups initially. As another poster pointed out, many are jockeying for "pole position" on the new platform, namely bragging rights that they were there on Day One, in case the platform does take off.

Personally I like the new Twitter since Elon took over. Elon seems to be giving everybody on the platform a fair shake, which the Left apparently hates. They miss having their platform where they can shadow-ban conservatives and even banish them outright.

Now it looks like they will get their echo chamber back on Threads. I have no interest in going there. Though I do have a flag planted over on Truth Social, just in case Twitter goes to hell again.

Threads = Leftist Twitter

It's where the kids go when somebody else's differing opinion conflicts with their own, and they can't squelch the differing opinion.

I am amazed at how many people want their flow of information choked off by a government/corporate cabal.

They won't just tolerate it - they demand it.

Information from outside their force-fed restricted diet upsets their intellectual stomachs.

So millions of losers AKA drama queens have something to keep them amused while sitting in cars waiting for their overpriced coffee.

BOTS, but I’d imagine many persons and businesses that have a presence on other social platforms just ensuring they appear on this one too. Assume a lot of corporate marketing departments had a task to sign up, regardless of whether or not they think it is, or will become, a significant channel

Assume the real measure will be traffic in about a month.

If Twitter’s still requiring a login that may be why it’s “tanked”
