Threads: accounts, posts, likes … stunning figures for the debut of the Twitter competitor

Threadsthe alternative to Twitter carried by Meta, is having an exceptional start with subscribers, do you want some, here you go!

Meta’s new social network, Threads, was launched only yesterday and has registered no less than 10 million new accounts in a few hours. A start that was not wrong when you see how much the activity has since continued to develop.

A rocket start

Is Elon Musk right to be worried about the launch of Threads, his rival Mark Zuckerberg’s social network, whose objective is clearly to replace Twitter? Given the rather impressive figures that have been falling in recent hours, we can understand why the boss of Tesla is frowning.

Since the launch of its platform, Threads has recorded, at the latest news, nearly 50 million account creations. These users aren’t just there for hype, according to early reports of the activity The Verge. Indeed, in less than 24 hours, Threads already had 95 million messages and 190 million likes.

The best to come?

So, is this the start of a new monster in the social media industry? Or the novelty effect? We remember that another platform had at one time benefited from the chaotic reputation of Twitter, namely Mastodon. But after a few months, it was finally pretty clear that the public preferred to stay on Twitter.

Threads might be slightly different. Its sleek and fairly easy-to-use interface contrasts with the much more complex one of Mastodon. Based on the unique experience in the world in the field of Meta, it will benefit from ergonomic and functional improvements over time allowing it to stay up to date. And above all, the social network has seen its counters panic when it is not even available in Europe yet. What will be its base in a few months?
