What? It has more than 300M users.
- silisili 2y agoToday, maybe? I haven't kept up. I'm talking specifically about its launch.
- OtherShrezzing 2y agoThey had 100m account creations within the first 5 days.

- linkregister 2y agoThreads' launch was intentionally rushed in order to capitalize on the user discontent at the time. Without a large alternative, enthusiasm to migrate to another social network would have waned. Note that Bluesky was still invite-only when Threads launched.
- ahoka 2y agoHow many of those are bots?
- linkregister 2y agoHow many users on X (Twitter) or Bluesky are bots? It's reasonable to assume the percentages are the same, given the lack of public information for the major text-based broadcast social networks. X is estimated to have 250M daily active users. Mark Zuckerberg recently stated that Threads' DAUs were 100M. Threads achieving a bit under half the size in such a short time is impressive, especially since Threads still lacks many features that X has had for years.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> It's reasonable to assume the percentages are the same It's reasonable to assume they're worse. Bluesky doesn't have Facebook's network or surveillance apparatus. Neither does Twitter, except it's a higher-value target than Bluesky and Threads combined.
- sn0wleppard 2y agoAnd how many are Instagram users who created a Threads account after being prompted but never actually use it?
- linkregister 2y agoDaily Active Users (DAUs) and Monthly Active User counts represent the amount of users that perform activity on the application daily and monthly, respectively.
- NBJack 2y agoThere is no industry standard for DAUs or MAUs. Take it all with a hefty grain of salt.
- mukunda_johnson 2y agoI think most of those are Instagram shoving it in your face. Yeah I'm a "Threads user", but only because of the inline feed in Instagram. I'm annoyed when there is a notification blip but it turns out to be Threads spam.
- notyourwork 2y agoSame annoyance here!
- pjc50 2y agoUsing it for what? Can someone list their fave Threads accounts so we can get a picture?
