Threads, owned by Meta, has reached more than 275 million monthly users this month.
In the last week, following the U.S. presidential election, Bluesky confirmed that it gained over 700,000 new users, with more than 14.5 million users globally. Mastodon, meanwhile, has expanded from 3.5 million users in November 2022 to almost 9 million this month.

Also, some people bring their bad habits from Xitter and the rest, so it helps to have all the options.
Damn, this poor guy is going to have to buy Blue Sky now
