Did threads take off recently or what's the story? I thought it was unsuccessful as xitter was already the preferred platform

I was wondering that too. All I hear about is BlueSky and then suddenly this.

I see official POTUS content on Mastodon because of Threads. I'd say that's pretty taken off

It isn't anymore, ad I expect that to accelerate. The Guardian just announced today that they will no longer use it, for example (although individual journalists may still choose to do so)

Meta auto created threads accounts for all instagram users iirc so they kinda forced thwir way into the market by pre inflating their numbers.
