It’s been a year since Meta pushed out Threads in an attempt to take on the platform we now know as X. With 175 million users now on board (some way off Zuckerberg’s hopes for “1 billion+“), @engadget considers the changes Threads needs to make to truly create the X alternative it wants to be.

in reply to Flipboard Tech Desk • • •Twitter never had anything like a billion users, doesn't seem realistic for a replacement to do so? 🤔
Twitter was always a niche social network by comparison to its biggest rivals, it never had the scale of Facebook etc. The reason Twitter is so mentioned is because journalists use it.
