Who is downloading threads? Haven't read or heard any talk on it in months. To be fair, I am far removed from the meta ecosystem.

I switched from twitter to threads pretty much immediately and traffic there comes and goes in waves when people get freshly annoyed at twitter about something. Most of the people I followed on twitter have threads accounts -- most of them crosspost there frequently, some of them only do when they're mad about something elon musk did and then go back to twitter.

I'm prevented from using it because I don't have an instagram account and I don't really want to download another app to sign up for this one.

The most obvious answer is people who can't stand Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones types. Lots of high profile political accounts have moved over from X. In the politics vein, lots of Ukrainian and Ukraine watchers as well, oddly enough. Aside from that, some machine learning accounts are pretty decent and have a growing community. - my 2¢

This may be a dumb question, but wouldn't one only see that content if they engage with it or follow people who engage with it?
