On: Shipping Threads in 5 months

[threeseed]

In the Q2 earnings call in July, Meta said that Threads had reached 200 MAU.

Which is about half of X which has seen declining growth and revenue since Musk took over.

So by every definition it has been very successful given how long it's been around.

A whole 200? Based on the the number of people I know who've ever used it (no one), I believe it.

Don't believe your negative thoughts then, according to https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/C89oeSORn81 Threads had over 175 million monthly active users this July.

The parent is making a joke as the grandparent missed the 'M' after 200.

So it reads as 200 monthly active users. Rather than 200M (million) monthly active users.

I suspect you missed a multiplier.. K? M?

[threeseed → gnabgib]

Monthly Active Users. Standard metric for measuring usage.

[gnabgib → threeseed]

Yes... but this specific post will have >200 DAU.. 200 MAU is nothing.

[sleazebreeze → gnabgib]

I assume 200 million since it was reported before in Q2 they were at 175 million MAU, but not the person you're replying to.

This would appear to be the quote they're referencing:

> Another bright spot is Threads, which is about to hit 200 million monthly actives.
