Instagram’s Threads app has reached 100 million users, making it easily the fastest growing app ever.

    If this is going to federate with the fediverse then why wouldnt I just sign up for a Mastodon instance and use an app/instance that doesn’t shove ads in my face?

      That’s why I hope it does federate and that people stop with this childish tantrum of wanting to defederate them.

      We’ll get the best of both worlds: access to the interesting profiles from Threads, while not seeing ads or algorithm-distributed hate speech.

    Considering that instagram users pretty much have an account by default, this stat is pretty meaningless. What would be interesting is daily active users of threads software in a week or two.

    100 million users, of what quality?

    from reports it seems like a bunch of iNfLuEnCeRs, brands, misinformed and toxic assholes, etc
