      I’d be willing to bet that, as a % of active users, there’s more humans on Threads than Twitter

      Probably most, but the issue is that most are phantom accounts. See, if you don’t have a Threads account and someone there searches for you, a phantom account is created, where you’ll receive notifications trying to persuade you to “create” tour Threads account. These accounts inflate the numbers, and its why Threads had such a ridiculously fast ““adoption”” rate
