“Meta's approach meant users leapfrogged the disorienting “now what?” moment that has blighted the sign-up process on other Twitter clones. That alone makes Threads a larger threat to Twitter than anything else we've seen so far.” https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Because the golden rule of every new social network is it starts off only talking about itself... https://www.ft.com/content/ae7dd329- 990a-41e0-8e3c-2dc54b443b78
