It’s fun to snark on threads but yes, it had 100 million signups in a week and 50 million people still using it.

    First of all, does anyone trust threads to tell us real numbers? How would anyone check? Second of all, no way am I ever using them and I blocked them on my Mastodon account. If they every come to Lemmy, I'll block them here as well. I'm not shitting on threads, the parent company has always been full of shitty people.

    I don’t support Meta and they’re not a good company. I was merely answering the question about where people went.

    Meta is a public company though so they could get in legal trouble for false reports, and there’s also a bunch of ways advertisers can check metrics.
