On the Threads numbers, your theory that they're counting people on Instagram and get shown a Threads post is certainly plausible.

Details aside though the most likely explanation seems to me that Meta is lying (as they have about numnbers in the past -- remember the "pivot to video" lolsob).

Independent journalists wonder if META will be explaining it’s selling & gifting your data to advertisers, PACs, & governments.

#Threads: What if #Twitter, but 20 less IQ points?

Trying out the @newsmast client! Adds another layer to picking a server and making an account, as an additional tailoring of the ways I consume, interact with and create content.

And don’t get me wrong, #Meta is an evil empire and that wants to drain humanity of anything they can in order to turn a profit. I just want to be able to follow my friends and for them to be able to follow me. I scared too many people away from #Mastodon because I introduced them to it too soon (it was around 2017).

#Threads #ActivityPub

I had hopes that #Threads would fully embrace #ActivityPub, but now it’s been quite a while since they made any improvements on that front and the things they have implemented feel like half-measures at best and segregation in other cases.

Last Week in the #ATmosphere:

- 20 million accounts on #Bluesky
- #Threads is taking the competition with Bluesky serious; Bluesky might be closer in size to Threads than thought
- experiments with visualising the firehose
- and a ton of links
