Thankfully, Threads is another exact microblogging alternative that is threatening Twitter, and if care is not taken and Musk doesn't apply wisdom, then the impact would be severe.

It's wrong to acknowledge thread as a treat to twitter because Elon limited daily views for Twitter users. That's the main reason Zuckerberg copied twitter and changed logo and name to thread. He didn't work for it, he stole another person's idea and intellectual property, it doesn't make sense. Most people will run back to twitter after a while of using thread. It'll just get the fame like truth social did when people started opting out of twitter because of the new update. It'll be hard for thread to beat twitter, not now.

I also don't think that Threads will ever be able to rival Twitter. Maybe the wave of curiosity of people who want to try Threads at this time is quite a lot. But yeah this won't last long. Because when people have finished trying, they will definitely leave. unless they find comfort in using those Threads. Because I personally also just want to try Threads to satisfy my curiosity. But if the Threads platform offers usability that Twitter doesn't then maybe Threads can compete with Twitter. but if there is no significant difference then it will not be too strong to compete with Twitter which already has a lot of users.

As of 3 days ago, Threads hit over 100 million users, that's about 3 days after the microblogging app was launched. This should definitely tell you something, and for the record, how many people had left Facebook and Instagram to the extent that the platforms feel it? Mark my word, 'Threads has come to stay as a viable competitor of Twitter.' The Rivalry will continue as long as God knows when.

Elon Musk has proved himself not a worthy person to own Twitter with his overbearing approaches after taking over, this should help Threads. And for Meta to have been in the system already is another plus for it.

Actually, we shouldn't be too surprised by the growth in the number of users on the Threads Platform because the number will indeed be very easy to continue to grow. because everyone who has an Instagram account will be able to directly access and import their Instagram account to Threads. The ease of access is what makes it easy for people to try Threads.

For now, Threads still has a lot to add. Because there is no thread edit feature, no DM and many more. Even on Playstore (in my country area) I see the rating is still in the 3+ range. The point is user satisfaction who tried it is still not too high. Everyone who is active on social media on Instagram, the majority will definitely try Threads. because even from the Threads Application to Instagram we can switch applications with just one click on the Instagram icon in the upper right corner of Threads. so that Instagram users can certainly move between applications easily.
the initial launch is still in the hype. so let's watch a year from now. if the number continues to grow rapidly and active users can also survive the extraordinary increase as it is today then of course Twitter will panic at that time.

It's always good to have a platform alternative. This brings competition. Here we see a strong alternative. A lot of users joined the platform in a short time. Of course, this is due to the ease of registration method.

Elon is losing too many users with the choices he made. These users did not leave twitter and go to the other application. They currently have accounts in both apps.

The question is, will users who get angry with twitter return to twitter again or will they stay in the new application and close their twitter accounts?

At the first launch of Threads I think Elon lost a lot of users though not completely,
we know for ourselves that in just a few days Threads can be said to attract a lot of people and that's good because it will give competition,
I think Twitter is still ahead as long as Elon doesn't impose restrictions which will make users angry.

I think threads is actually a good alternative to Twitter since it's already connected to IG. Since in some countries like mine which is PH, Facebook is much more popular app to use which is handled by Zuckerberg. That's why I think people would jump to threads as they will try the new feature where they can compare to Twitter. But we all know Twitter have its side where there's no restricted thing there. The reason why people loved to use Twitter. After they use threads they will just back to Twitter. Even without Elon Musk I still believe that Twitter will be an independent app where a lot of users love.
