I would have thought that with their financial resources and experience running the biggest social media platforms they would have had this up and running with everything it needed immediately.

Just goes to show how difficult it really is to set up and run a successful social media platform.
 


Threads, It looks like Instagram's Twitter alternative, is catching up to X in daily users, a new report reveals.

There were 115.1 million daily active users on the platforms' iOS and Android apps in June 2025, according to data from market intelligence provider Similarweb reported by TechCrunch. In comparison, X reached 132 million daily active users during the same time period, the data showed, and Bluesky reached 4.1 million daily active users.

It's important to note that this data is exclusively for mobile users, and X likely has an edge with regards to desktop users. Similarweb reports X had 145.8 million average daily web visits worldwide in June while Threads and Bluesky had 6.9 million and 5.3 million, respectively.
 
I don’t think BlueSky is going to make it—there’s not a lot of activity, and most major news organizations aren’t using it. If it weren’t for the Financial Times and Bloomberg Newsfeed that I receive, I probably wouldn’t use it—even though I don’t post.
