Threads Soars to 275 Million Monthly Users, Says Zuckerberg

An anonymous Slashdot reader shared this report from CNBC:

Threads now has nearly 275 million monthly users, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday. 'We continue to be on track towards this becoming our next major social app,' Zuckerberg said on a call with analysts, adding that he was 'quite pleased' with the trajectory of the app.

The latest numbers indicate Threads is up 175% from a year ago when it reached 100 million users... The app is now signing up more than 1 million users per day, Zuckerberg also said on Wednesday. X remains ahead of Threads in terms of users, but not by much. Musk's social media app now has roughly 318 million monthly users, according to an estimate by market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. That's down 24% since Musk completed his acquisition of the company in October 2022, according to Sensor Tower.

The news also drew a reaction from ActivityPub/Activity Streams 2.0 co-author Evan Prodromou, who pointed out that the 275 million monthly active users is up from the 200 million reported just 13 weeks ago at the end of July.

'And most of them have access to the Fediverse. With more, hopefully, getting access soon.'
