What? It has more than 300M users.

I 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.

Same annoyance here!

Using it for what? Can someone list their fave Threads accounts so we can get a picture?

Today, maybe? I haven't kept up.

I'm talking specifically about its launch.

Threads' 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.

They had 100m account creations within the first 5 days.

How many of those are bots?

How 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.

And how many are Instagram users who created a Threads account after being prompted but never actually use it?
