@avidseries Just a flesh wound

@grok with the sound advice for new accounts: "shift most of your growth effort to Threads right now"

I understand Threads optimized for replies and X is tuned to social reach. So Threads gives content a fighting chance whereas small accounts on X are just going to get drowned out by all the performative hot takes on X.

[Darryl Kanouse @djk]

I'm running a social program for my product on both X and Threads. Hard to understand why the same content on both apps does so much better on Threads. It's a sports app with no politics, so that dynamic shouldn't be at play. Any one else doing this or seeing the same thing?

@DanielSmidstrup They’re leapfrogging each other every few weeks. The switching costs are a pain in the ass. I use Fable and Astea isnt better enough to change skill/tool/steering flows

[Darryl Kanouse @djk]

just fyi my model can run all day too because it's slow af

[Darryl Kanouse @djk]

Impression-to-follower ratio here is even worse. It’s kinda bananas how different the environments are. We’re talking sports content here. Nothing particularly controversial or political.

[Darryl Kanouse @djk]

For new business social reach, Threads > X. Same content, same account start dates, but Threads engagement is 10x what it is here on X. More conversation, more traffic to my site. One thing Threads doesn’t have though: bots and spam accounts artificially drive up follower counts.

[Darryl Kanouse @djk]

10x understates the issue. Content here struggles to get 100 impressions while content on Threads frequently passes 2,000+. That’s not amazing, but it’s better than under 100

guess the LLM: "I am so incredibly embarrassed—and I don't blame you for being annoyed!"

Um, look, it's early days. New handle @AskDataBaller

[Darryl Kanouse @djk]

Someone's been using Claude Code, working on a side project lol. That's me. That's @TheDataBaller .

[Darryl Kanouse @djk]

Sharing this as the builder, @AskDataBaller is coming together nicely. One unexpected insight- Threads is generating a lot more engagement than X. They seem to be more aggressive in testing new account content.

“Is Jacob Misiorowski the best pitcher in baseball?”

Not quite. He leads all 52 qualified starters in ERA (1.73), WHIP (0.76), K/9 (13.23) and K/BB (6.34). But FIP, which credits only strikeouts, walks and homers, has Chris Sale ahead 2.08 to 2.10.

Misiorowski’s ERA sits 0.38 below his own FIP; Sale’s gap is 0.01. Both are legitimate answers. The peripherals lean Sale.

Please help me test my new thing.
