Honestly it is really smart how they went about this. From what I’ve read, they only started development on Threads at the start of this year. They acted very fast to create Threads. Then after the rate limiting bullshit this past week, they saw the perfect opportunity to release Threads early to capitalize on the current issues with Twitter. I work in tech and I am really impressed with what they’ve done so far from that perspective.
It isn’t that everything they’ve done is necessarily difficult; they just got it right it seems, which these days seems to be rare from tech companies (including Meta and their Metaverse).
Yup, and if Reddit keeps going down the path of fucking with its users, I won’t be surprised if Meta decides to strike. There’s just too much value in Reddit’s content.

With how Reddit keeps Facebookifying their UI, they’re doing Zuckerberg a favor.
That user base will be primed to hop over.
Meta may not be able to do it given how much reddit user hate fb.
Oh yeha, that’s right. But if they ever start hating Reddit as much, that’s their chance.
