Another month in and I think we have enough data and given Threads enough time to overtake Twitter / X in traffic and to hollow the entire platform in "extremely rapid fashion" according to a previously wild claim [0]. Threads is the one plummeting in "extremely rapid fashion", losing 81% of their DAUs. [1] That doesn't mean that it is dead, it just means that not only the media desperately projected these hype stories for their Threads clickbait but it ultimately failed to overtake Twitter / X. Even more statistics here [2] and here [3] show that Threads was hardly the "Twitter / X killer" as predicted. Both will co-exist, but it seems that there is an extreme exaggeration in expectations for Threads as the "Twitter / X killer", but the best alternative against a long list of actual dead and unsustainable non-starters. For Threads to have around 8 million daily active users it means it is still easily eclipses the smaller competitors and the entire daily and monthly active usage of the whole Fediverse in less than three months according, to the stats here under "Average All Active Users by Month".
