Zuck wanted it, and literally nobody else. They’re going to need to implement ActivityPub just so every blue checkmark on earth can launch their own social network where they are the only users.
It’s still too complicated for the layperson to have to navigate. Anything beyond “I have one login at one site that everyone else has” is too much for most.
Well, shareholders, employees and advertisers, wanted it to make money on the users. Even if only 5% users remain, that’s still better than the current interest rates after investment fund’s fees.
Facebook/Instagram users wanted to check it out, because why not, creating an account was just a couple clicks.
Everyone else… they didn’t, and from the looks of it, they still don’t.

Not sure why anyone wanted a second twitter that’s still made by a big-tech

My grandma put electrical tape over the blinking 12:00 on the vcr she still uses. She’s not ready for 2 factor authentication.
I mean, it is annoying to have to reset the clock every time the power fails. No clock, no problem!
Mastodon is the least like that of them though
Nobody chose threads. It just got shoved down their throats.
Also, Mastadon doesn’t have the same marketing these companies do.

It’s a mix between heard mentally (well, all my friends are on it) and FOMO (what are they saying about me over there?)

I’d be keen to give it a go if it were legitimately anyone else besides Facebook. Would have even tried it if Microsoft made a random Twitter clone
