The article is far too nice towards Threads, it's dead as fuck. It's not a "blow" to any rivals, it's not a player at all.

It's filled with far-right extremism [1] and Israel-Palestine misinformation.. [2]

It's a cesspool.

Yeah, I don't think I heard anything about it since the initial launch, except for people on here asking to defederate from it preemptively.
