Threads, the new “Twitter killer” app rolled out by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has surpassed 100 million users in less than a week while Elon Musk’s micro-blogging site has seen traffic “tanking,” according to a tech executive.
The initial burst of success for Threads has fueled a war of words between Musk and Zuckerberg.
The Twitter boss referred to his tech rival as a “cuck” and challenged him to a “d–k measuring contest” over the weekend.
Not only have users been signing up to Threads through their Instagram accounts, but they have also been posting prolifically.
Since the system went online Wednesday, Threads users have written more than 95 million posts and clicked “like” on 190 million posts, according to The Verge.
While Threads has gained momentum in its first few days of operation, Twitter’s traffic has reportedly been “tanking,” according to the CEO of cybersecurity firm Cloudfare.
Matthew Prince, the company CEO, posted a graph to both his Twitter and Threads accounts on Sunday showing the steep decline in traffic.
Prince’s data dovetails with figures released by Similarweb, the web analytics company which said that web traffic to Twitter was down by 5% over the course of the first 48 hours during which Threads went online.
According to Similarweb, Twitter’s web traffic is down 11% compared to the same period last year.

That is a giant vote for censorship, which is reflects a poor state of global mental health.
hit nail on head
5% drop as a new product becomes a competitor? Thats tanking?
You mean like the government censorship of Twitter?
Twitter Has Complied With Almost Every Government Request For Censorship Since Musk Took Over
100M liberals, make no mistake, they are all liberals.
Like ADL, SPLC....
The smartest man in the universe.
You might want to take another look at the Enron debacle and Weissmann. Yeah, that Weissmann. And what came out later.
yay!
They can have their bots talk to each other all day

Controlled Freaks want to be controlled by threads ,LOL
Thanks for the info. Just looked up his sordid methods. Interesting that "using multiple grand juries" to intimidate seems the go-to game for the corruptocrats with their "lawfare" attacks. On a regular basis.
One year ago was before Musk took over and started cracking down on fake bot users. I would have expected the drop to have been more than 11% just from that...but what do I know?
And Threads is already censoring “unapproved” content. Who the hell needs another social media platform like that? My guess is that most of the Threads traffic is being pulled from IG and F-Book.
Media was most of Twitter so makes since they and Hollywood would transfer to a more protective echo chamber.
AKA the Democrat Party/Communist/Insurrectionist website.
“Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout the New Kid in Town...”
I dunno about that.
I use it all the time and post, and see tons of conservative views.
Stuff I post on Twitter can (and I was) censored on Zuky’s FB.
Twitter was literally a leftist mouth piece under Dorsey, Musk has opened it up.
It’s instagram. There is a one click link to get on threads from instagram. I expect this to be another divide. Woke a-holes and the snowflakes on threads everyone else on Twitter
