Threads has 275 million monthly active users.

Bluesky has now 15 million total users (how many active?)

Mastodon monthly active usage has dropped below 1 million.

I believe Threads active users are artificially conflated with Instagram and Facebook. In all my circles, I don't know anyone who uses Threads

In all my circles, I don't know a single "X" user. Not even one. Anecdotes are funny like that.

Facebook monthly active users: >3 billion

Instagram monthly active users: >2 billion

Threads monthly active users: ~275 million

If they're cheating, they're doing a poor job of it.

When you post on Instagram, there are opt-out features that will 'automatically share to your Threads account too' and you can see Threads notifications in the Instagram app and such .. so I think it's reasonable to assume they are leveraging the Instagram user-base a bit.

Threads is literally built on Instagram so of course they are leveraging it.

But that's very different from saying that Threads MAUs aren't specific to that platform.
