Like many Twitter users frustrated with Elon Musk's mismanagement of Twitter since his acquisition of the company last year, last week I joined Meta's new social network, Threads. Threads is meant to be a direct competitor to Twitter and mimics many of its features intentionally to give disaffected Twitter users like me a place to land. And land we did: Threads became one of the fastest-growing apps in history, earning 100 million new users in less than a week.
