Did Meta-owned, Instagram-linked X/Twitter alternative Threads die?

Not for 130 million monthly active users.

“Threads has more people actively using it today than it did during its initial launch peak,” Meta founder and CEO **Mark Zuckerberg** told investors last week. “Threads is growing steadily with more than 130 million monthly actives.”

That’s up 30 million in the last three months and still “growing steadily.”
