Chubby cuddlebot Lemma!

The Twitter Power User numbers being like, 3-4/week was also a Very Funny number from a few months back.

i find it a bit funny how they were just waiting for Twitter to make yet another shitty feature that's gonna drive people away from the website to fart out this new "Threads" thing.
i don't think i'm gonna get on it, it really doesn't look great in my opinion. plus change scary!

This actually sounds about right. That 3 post average is likely brought down by lots of folks who have made an account but not posted anything, which is likely to be a lot of people on a major platform with tens of millions of users. I would expect a more niche site like Cohost would attract more active users on average than lurkers, especially on Day 0.

Also, from what I understand, people with instagram accounts are having threads accounts automatically made for them. If that makes up any of the 30 million users then there's likely users who haven't even really touched the app being counted into the data.

yeah, everyone I've seen make a Threads account seemed to be doing it just in case rather than being particularly excited about it

3-4 posts per day per person pretty much lines up with Instagram, too. like, i don't know what they expected there, but I genuinely do not know a single person who makes more than a post per day on Insta at most, and this is being presented as "Insta for text", so. that tracks.

Most of that comes from Posts Gregg who is an outlier and should not have been counted

30M users out of 2.4B instagram users who just need to download an app and login to add themselves to threads. meaning so far they’ve converted just 1.25% of instagram users to threads. that’s abysmal.
