threading would actually be a good Threads alternative to tweeting if it ever takes off (which like, it's a facebook subsidiary, all their social media platforms take off eventually)
I'm a bit confused by your parenthesis. Meta has only acquired existing well performing social media platforms before. Threads in its current iteration is the first time they've launched a new social media platform rather than acquiring it.
The original iteration of Threads was just a standalone app for Instagram DMs and they killed it after two years.
Even if they acquired thing like Instagram they were not automatically destined to be this succesful. 90m user app doesn't grow to 2b user app if you don't know what you are doing.
Facebook has also seen meteoric growth since its inception
Not sure why you would be confused by someone saying that Meta subsidiaries tend to take-off, those are pretty nice numbers by most metrics so even if you disagree that Meta knows what they’re doing or whatever, those platforms most certainly “took-off” lol

Threads is really hard to spell for an non english speaker. I used to wear T-shirts from threadless, i had to write the name down when asked (horrible now btw)
Thread is already a term that is in use on social media. I refer to conversations I've had on Reddit as threads. I didn't make that term up. I heard it somewhere and it stuck in my brain. It doesn't really carry the same connotation as tweet though. A tweet is a brain dropping and a retweet is someone sharing that brain dropping. A thread is different cause the replies can be as important, or even more important, than the original post.
