I guarantee that my great aunt probably created one because she just wanted to get the popup to go away so she could look at pictures of her grandkids. Probably doesn’t even know what Threads is.

I literally had someone request to “follow me” who then immediately text me and ask — what is this thing that it just put me on.

They are definitely inflating numbers and making it hard to drop user count because deleting threads deletes your Instagram too.

You’ll only ever hear about total users now never “active” would be my guess which after a few days or weeks will be significantly less than the “10 million” that supposedly “signed up”
