I don’t have an ig account because I walked away from Facebook and and any other non-anonymous social media a long time ago and I just don’t want to get back in.

For me i can see the allure of threads for those that do have an ig account and that will naturally bring others in. I will never bother because I can get the same or better in terms of content without sacrificing things I value.

For those that do have an ig account, they’ve already given up all that data when they signed up for fb/ig so it was always going to have a good sized starting pool of content/users

The real question is if people stay or if it acts as a springboard to other parts of the fediverse. Surely a combination of sorts
