•‘Threads is just deathly dull’: have Twitter quitters found what they are looking for on other networks?
62% Informative
Twitter/X rival Threads has 200 million active users, just a year after its launch.
The social network was launched by Meta , the behemoth behind Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp .
The integration with Instagram seems to be what has really fuelled the growth of Threads .
It has a built-in user base of celebrities and sportspeople, say experts.
All of the would-be X rivals are keen to differentiate themselves from the original.
Mastodon is perhaps the most consciously “woke” of the alternatives.
Bluesky is the closest experience to the “transgressive”, playful, “old Twitter ” still missed by many.
