No hate, but I saw a big ado made about Threads reaching 100 million users faster than any other social network in the past. However, with their built-in Instagram user base, is that really an apples to apples comparison of growth and early adoption? 🤔🤷♂️ Am I just splitting hairs, and trying to pick it apart? Yes, maybe… it was just something that came to mind.
I think you have to download and can then use your existing insta account if you have one maybe?
This is kind of what I’m thinking. It’s not equivalent to a first offering from some unknown company or protocol. Still good for them and they will obviously have lots of users, but it’s a different context.

It is more easily accessible to the masses than something like Nostr. I think the majority of people couldn't understand relays, even if you held a gun to their head, metaphorically

I think you’re right. That’s a mere 4% of Insta’s monthly active user base. Impressive though that (allegedly) less that 10 people worked on this for half a year and and it is already worth a gazillion $$$. I think there is is room for everything: Insta and threads for fluff Twitter for fighting and frustration Nostr for truth, ideas and freedom
