threads?

[MSFT_Edging]

you don't often see screenshots of threads posts on other sites like you do twitter/bluesky.

Sure, but I’d argue that 140m dau, 400m mau is still success.

Considering the overall impact of Threads, those statistics are certainly ... interesting.

It is somewhat integrated to Instagram with billions of active users. Not saying a whole lot.

[throw-the-towel]

I do.

also just another clear ripoff. they copy, they acquire, but they cannot seem to innovate.

[tim-projects]

Meta seem fairly innovative. Their r&d labs seem to produce some really cool things.

The basic issue is none of it seems to be making any money when it ends up in products and services.

Main reason there seems to be that their walled garden approach is tolerated at best. They just aren't very good at it outside of a feed.

Some things that Meta shares or opensources is discrete but amazing. lz4 and zstd and Yann Collet's work. io_uring (don't know if Jens Axboe is still there). And the open timecard projects, and overall OCP work.

yeah, i'm referring to product innovations, but i should've made that explicit.
