That many people use Facebook Threads? That sounds like saying "especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to Reddit or New Digg."
People were autoregistered for threads if they already had an account for instagram or facebook iirc. It also auto reposts stuff between those services unless you turn it off i think. They just forcefully injected content from their other platforms to kickstart it.
Ah, I just love how laws against anticompetitive business practices have basically been totally flushed down the toilet worldwide, don't you?
X and threads are Microblog pages, seems plausible to me to use them as a comparison. It's the platforms we want to migrate people from to mastodon.
I agree, rather I was surprised that threads grew big enough for people to be trying to migrate away from it.
In my area / friend circles, I don't know anyone that continued to use Threads after the initial launch. However, there are people using Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter
