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.

Yeah but what made Twitter twitter wasn't really the usercount, it was the mix of established voices and complete randos mixing. If the journalists and economists and politicians go to Bluesky, it will win. I definitely don't think that's a given but it seems much more plausible now than it did a few months ago.

Kim Kardashian is much more important to a social network than any journalist, politician or economist. Perhaps more so than all of them combined.

There are many interest verticals on Twitter like politics, sports, celebrity, influencer, porn etc.
