Looks like there might be yet another mass-migration wave from Twitter to Mastodon on the way...

Massive flop and I don't think they are federated with the greater fediverse yet.

From what I can find, Threads has 10 million active users, and Mastodon only has 1.7 million. Threads may have been a "massive flop" in that they're not doing as well as hoped and the userbase is declining, but it's still far more popular than Mastodon, which also has a declining userbase outside of some recent spikes.

Threads isn't even federated with the greater Fedi so IDK why it's even being contented here. In the scope of people who actually use the fediverse Mastodon is king.

It is a more likely place for people from Twitter to migrate to.
