Mark Zuckerberg's Threads has more than 300 million users and has been adding a million more every day.

It seems increasingly clear that there simply won’t be a next Twitter .

The social network of the future will be spread across countless platforms and protocols, from group chats to Discords to Meta apps .

We’re stuck without that universal gathering spot on the internet.

We might all miss a little more stuff, now that it’s happening in more places.

The cliche in tech is that everything is always alternately bundling and unbundling.

We're already seeing new kinds of communities form, and entirely new ways of getting together online.
