Twitter Competitor Threads Hits 5 Million Sign-Ups In 4 Hours

Tell me there’s pent-up demand for a largely text-based information-sharing and social network that is not Twitter without telling me there’s pent-up demand. Only four hours after Twitter’s competitor Threads was released in 120 countries, Meta – the social network from Facebook – reached five million registrations.
“Just passed five million sign-ups in the first four hours …” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on his personal Threads account.
For contrast, decentralized Twitter rival Mastodon took months to grow by three million, and about a month of “fast” growth to go from six million to eight million.
