Early numbers aren't everything.
Was every Google account equating to a Google+ account at that point?
It was invite-only for quite a long time, if memory serves.
I know Threads gets a lot of criticism here but the launch and growth rate are incredible nonetheless.
Isn't that because it's getting nag screened in Instagram? So people will be like "Yeah, ok, I guess I'll click this button to see what this is..."
Yeah, I’m sure a significant percentage are signing up but not staying active. That said, my feed is filled with content from people I follow. They did a great job engaging “influencers” (I hate that term) before the public launch.
this is why i find all the talk of "defederate threads" on lemmy a bit premature.
Meta isn't even thinking about the fediverse at this point, they're just using it as a buzzword. Their focus is on growth.
If that was the case they wouldn't have reached out to Mastodon instance owners a while ago before the launch.
