I think Twitter is tanking because of Twitter. Remains to be seen if Threads has any legs or if it will be the next Google+, Periscope, Meerkat, etc.

They should have just like, kept Google+ on life support. It could have had one hell of a second wind in the wake of these huge social media bungles

But someone already got promoted for that project, so why keep it around?

[–] Toast@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago

True, and someone else got promoted for killing it

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hey, at least they didn't blame Millennials for "killing the tweet industry".

Seriously, Threads just came at the right time. If Google had introduced their own Twitter-like thing around now, I'm sure they'd be getting enough signups that they might not consider cancelling it right away!
