Threads Jumps to 350 Million, Adding 30 Million Users in Three Months (techcrunch.com) 10
Threads has now grown to over 350 million monthly active users, reports TechCrunch, citing Mark Zuckerberg's comments on a company earnings call. That means Threads grew by 9.4% in roughly 90 days:
That's an increase of 30 million users since the prior quarter, where Meta reported that Threads had 320 million users. The new figure represents increased growth, as Threads added 30 million in the first quarter of this year, compared with 20 million in Q4 2024.
It's also worth noting that in a single quarter, Threads added nearly the same number of users to its network as one of its newer competitors, Bluesky. The latter, a decentralized social app, today has roughly 35 million users.
Zuckerberg also said there's been a 35% increase in time spent on Threads, according to the article, as a result of improvements to its recommendations systems.

Exactly.
Since the accounts are tied to FB/IG, and given the amount of spam I end up with from those, chances are about 99% of those accounts are spammers.
Congrats on the worlds biggest spamming network, Zuck.

That's because Facebook jams Threads down the user's throat. My wife uses FB and is constantly confused by why links don't work properly, and what is this Threads thingie?

Speaking of being crammed down throats, MS keeps popping up X-box ads on Windows 10. Happens on two diff PC's I use, including a heavily-managed work PC.

I see news reports linking to Twitter posts all day long but I think I've seen two Threads links ever and maybe last summer at that?
Is there a world in which these are relevant?
I'm not saying they're not but if they were super popular with Knitting Magazine I'd have no idea so I wonder who is using it.
