So I guess today they'll pass the entire userbase of the fediverse.
Expected, but it'll sure be Interesting Times watching the division this will cause with server de-federations.

Oh well.

Didn't they just auto-signup everyone with an Instagram account?

Yeah, I think everyone on Insta gets a single-sign on to Threads. And you can't delete Threads without also deleting your Insta (lol).
But I think they actually have to choose to activate it before they appear as users. Otherwise Threads would have had 1.2bn users "signed up" from the start.

Oh, they apparently changed the headline after I posted.
It's 10M now.

So larger than the entire fedi.
