Thanks for digging that up. It's pretty cool, but even Britain have a massive way to go, so disturbing that many are doing worse than us.
No UK? I thought we'd be higher.
Oh no. It's not good, and we should probably lambast the top 10 after the election. Right now, it just feels like the trap is communicating republican propaganda. We know how good they are for the environment, and the cost to the planet will be far greater...
Is it weird that the only celebrity who's getting a public print of emissions is one that is despised by a political party for getting people out to vote?
I don't really care much about her, but this feels like "how do we get young people to not listen to this person... ah, let's go with emissions".
Oh, it is good news. I wanted a source, so I can embrace in the excitement. I want Meta to fail, and anything that contributes towards it is great in my book. I just want to know it's actually happening and see it in the data!
Embrace it. It's a great game. Gaming doesn't have to be about bloodshot eyeballs.
You got any data for that?
Threads users didn't sign up, it used their Instagram account. Even if they used it once, they click across, and boom, account there and they cannot delete that Threads account after. An initial day registration does not mean a MAU. It's like saying MySpace is huge now because everyone had an account...

I mean, they can easily flood the ratings and sure All is just Threads content, then you're not getting involved in Lemmy/Mastodon content, you're just talking and engaging on content sustaining Threads and your comments are probably helping engagement next to adverts displayed to users.
It isn't a good proposition, at all.
Meta doesn't do anything that doesn't benefit their bottom line, especially for their ad business.
Is it? After the initial account register, it looked like it was running out of steam. I'd be surprised it lasted long without something new.
I mean, the last point is weird. They'd never say that, and do not care about the illusion of being open.
Point 1 is true.
Point 2, what makes you think federation will make millions of users want to move away, or even know folk are on another service. They'll probably censor the word lemmy and every lemmy address to avoid folk advertising away. The fediverse will just be filled with nonsense data and they'll pull the stuff that helps their platforms and keeps people hooked on the teet. Without that data, they may not be at critical mass to sustain Threads and it might eventually die. With that and Twitter going to pot, avoiding federation actually helps Mastodon as it provides a distinguishable separate entity that has reached critical mass and has significant good will with the user base that motivates them to keep sharing content.
If you leave it too long, folks will just register for another instance, and all momentum will be gone.
I wouldn't take too long getting the rescue boat out when folk are in the ocean....
