I tried it and deleted it on first day, it just felt like the same Facebook but for instagram users, same shit with everything being determined with algo feeds

Ok, but what about daily or monthly active users?

I have an account, but I peaced out after my first experience was mostly Wendy’s ads.

Also can we count the bots separately by country of origin? 🤣

I’d be willing to bet that, as a % of active users, there’s more humans on Threads than Twitter

Probably far easier to exploit users on Twitter. And just way more active users. Why bother with Threads?

CaptainSpaceman ,

Why do you think that?

I trust Meta’s moderation more than Twitter. Elon opened the floodgates

Probably most, but the issue is that most are phantom accounts. See, if you don't have a Threads account and someone there searches for you, a phantom account is created, where you'll receive notifications trying to persuade you to "create" tour Threads account. These accounts inflate the numbers, and its why Threads had such a ridiculously fast ""adoption"" rate
