For anyone that’s curious of day to day trends, this account makes a post every hour for new signups per hour/day/week. It’s pretty neat.

Seems to hover around 20,000 new signups per week, and I’ve seen it hit 50,000 during these times when Twitter kicks itself in the nuts.

My guess is TikTok.

I assume many went to Threads.

I thought Threads really dropped off too.

All online product launches see a flurry of signups and media coverage of the launch, and then they sink for a while as many accounts go dormant. That’s not surprising behavior. Threads is still growing and businesses and conversations are slowly moving to it.
