Kazakhstan residents are increasingly using the Threads platform for communication. Users from various countries, including Russia, Belarus, Germany, and others, have noted with surprise that posts from Kazakhstan appear most frequently in their recommendations. They mention that they encounter messages from Kazakhstani users so often in their feeds that they are seriously considering visiting the country as tourists. Tengri Life has compiled an amusing selection of messages regarding this phenomenon.
As is known, Threads is a social platform developed by Meta, focused on text-based posts. Many consider it a competitor to the former Twitter (now X). Threads allows users to publish text messages, express their thoughts on various situations, and invite others to engage in discussions.
As some social media users joke, thanks to the posts from Kazakhstan, they unexpectedly find themselves just as actively involved in the issues of our country as its residents.

Many users point out that Threads differs from many other social networks in that it has almost no content about "successful success," consumerism, or achievement culture, which is prevalent on other platforms. People here discuss important issues, both personal and societal, with an emphasis on sincerity. Some users highlight that they prefer not to see "plastic" content and mindless trend-following on this platform. This approach attracts those who are tired of excessive displays of success and want to see real stories from ordinary people rather than artificially constructed images and fictional lives.
By the way, in mid-December 2024, Mark Zuckerberg announced that over 100 million people use Threads daily. Additionally, the monthly audience of the platform reached 300 million active users. These figures indicate the rapid growth of the social network, which continues to gain popularity since its launch.
