Big weekend for Threads: 98 million new users and a cease-and-desist
By the time Monday morning rolls around for the rest of the world, Threads will have more than 100 million new users. By any measure, that’s a fantastic opening weekend.
Threads was launched on Thursday morning, AEST, about a day ahead of schedule but timed to dovetail with a series of particularly alienating decisions surrounding Twitter. People were clearly ready to migrate, and they did so in droves.
It certainly is fascinating to see the Big Bang for a new social media universe exploding in real-time..
I hope we can put to bed, once and for all, the idea that Social Media Platforms that let Far Right types bully, lie, troll and hate preach, are what people want.
