That got on my nerves. I did not join Facebook to see what anyone I went to high school with did on their farms. Or any other games.

More than 30 million people have signed up for Meta's new "Twitter Killer" Threads app

I know someone who thought they were going to make a killing with Zynga stock based on how popular Farmville was, and instead they lost thousands when the stock price cratered, because Zynga couldn’t develop anything else that was as popular.
Well, Words with Friends...but beyond that, no.
They didn’t come up with that, they bought another company called Newtoy that had created that game: Zynga buys Newtoy, studio rebranded as Zynga With Friends | Engadget
Did not know that. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
There is one company named Discord that is currently grabbing some of the framework of Meta owned Facebook for a younger audience. Yes this includes stuff that made congress go after Mark Zuckerberg in the past over facebook failures to stop certain stuff like "Toxic Politics", "Russian Propaganda" on its platforms. This time the same stuff hits Discord Social Media and its getting attention outside of GenZ over the Pentagon Leaks allegations.
The military loved Discord for Gen Z recruiting. Then the leaks began.
For years, the U.S. military has pushed to meet prospective Generation Z recruits on Discord, the online group-chat tool where many spend their time. It even runs a 17,000-member chatroom there for se...

Where do you see that number?
You can see posts only from the people you follow. The app is just not set to do that by default, it's buried and the setting has a weird label.
Settings->Notifications->Threads and Replies->First threads->select "From people you follow"
It takes some time for the non-followed posts to fall out of your feed, and after that you'll see what you want.
This is beef with everything Facebook a..k.a. Meta owns. They force their algorithm on you. One big reason I dislike Zuck and his manipulative tactics.
I think they'll add it. They probably have to figure out how to do it without infringing on twitter's IP, not like that's stopped them from knocking off the rest of the site though.
I'd also like to see a Tweetdeck-style companion app since Musk just destroyed twitter's. And a web or desktop UI for PC/Mac is badly needed.
It feels like they rushed Threads to release without finishing it.
Zuckerberg has been off attention for some time I don't think he's doing it just to be "Anti-Musk" but preparing for a future when Facebook is gone.
Twitter threatens to sue Meta over launch of rival Threads app
In a letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, a lawyer for the Elon Musk-owned app said Meta had unlawfully misappropriated trade secrets
Update Elon Musk Twitter threatens to sue Meta Inc over threads.
If this is the case then that opens the doors to other social media lawsuits.

It was too late to edit my post but Instagram head Adam Mosseri states that Threads will be allowing you to view your feed chronologically.

At one point, it appeared as if Google was trying to offer an alternative to Facebook. Google scrapped that idea a few years ago.
You might be shocked. There are other radio history pages. I'm also part of a chat that follows the American Top 40 reruns on Sirius XM on Saturday afternoons (which attracts a couple of radio PDs and Sean Ross among many others. When SXM tried to move the show we raised enough hell that SXm moved it back, and now we get on-air mentions before the show.…all twelve of them!
When I moved to Knoxville, I did my networking on Twitter, connecting with most of the media and social media folks, who I started meeting in person at events called Tweetups. I miss those.
The barista might have a better and funnier account than a formal, curated brand feed.
Discord lets people (especially young people) communicate amongst themselves (hey Moms for Liberty, you say you can prevent your kids from knowing that gay people exist?). Ahem. One of my grandsons is in a Discord group of NASCAR fans who watch races together.There is one company named Discord that is currently grabbing some of the framework of Meta owned Facebook for a younger audience.

Not really. I only started doing page counts around the 10th year of www.americanradiohistory.com / www.worldradiohistory.com and after about 9 years of counts we have about 49 million page views.
That is one neat site - great source of history.
Not Signing up til Threads get a Web version

He only has one job, to cut into Twitter's userbase and take full advantage of Elon's destructive incompetence, and it has been a success.
Twitter may face difficulties showing Meta stole trade secrets
Twitter said Meta had hired its former employees, many of whom "improperly retained" devices and documents.
Elon Musk sues Meta accusing "Threads" of stealing trade secrets from Twitter. However according to legal experts Elon Musk and Twitter needs to show proof of the allegations.
If that's the case then that opens up others to do the same if Elon Musk wins this lawsuit.
