> They are super late to the "twitter replacement" game

They were actually super early but the invite system squandered that opportunity. For months it was just a tiny subset of oldschool twitter users.

There was a time when people I followed on twitter started making accounts. But 99% of their followers (like me) couldn’t follow them there. So those people of course stopped posting there.

Actually think Theads made the same mistake, you signed up and your followers were not carried over.

If I was at IG I’d have made the number carry over even if the users were not there yet, seemed catastrophic to sign up day one and see like 10 followers when you have thousands on IG
