Threads reaches 30 million users in 16 hours

More than 30 million users signed up for Meta Platforms Inc.’s new app Threads, designed as a direct rival to Twitter and the most serious threat yet to Elon Musk’s struggling social-media site.

On Threads, people can post text and links and reply to or repost messages from others.

Oh please...these are all IG users that just decided to expand on their Profile and look at what Thread is all about.

"serious threat" to Musk's "struggling" social-media site. Hahahahah...jirre, the desperation is palpable.

I think the interesting thing will be to revisit this in a month and see what's happened with the userbase, not just in terms of new sign-ups but daily logins and interactions for the period.

I somehow don't see people using both Twitter and Threads so it'll be interesting to see how many jump ship fully and how many are simply testing the waters.

Twitter you don't need an app. Threads you need to download an app. Makes twitter more convenient to use
