NoisyOne57Meta confirms it is blocking EU-based users from accessing Threads via VPN
47_Alpha_TangoWhy would anyone voluntarily use it anyway?
It’s been out for less than ten days and it already has more than 35x the number of total users as Mastodon. It might not be for us, but saying that no one would want to use it is just sour grapes.
The numbers are highly skewed because of the launch. A number of users are being paid to create content during the launch. A lot of the users are just checking out the hype. Some still stay, many won’t.
The numbers won’t really be useful or comparable until the dust settles. I give it a month.
