So I can be on one near-empty platform that can get followed by another near-empty platform?
Yeah basically. Although I don't know, is Threads that small? Bluesky is the most successful alternative to Twitter from what I see around companies stating where they are posting?
It's hard to say how many active users are on Threads, but of 160 million registered users there's probably somewhere between 20 and 50 million (somewhat) active ones. That's more people than are signed up to Bluesky, as far as I can gather.
A lot of Twitter addicts are going to Bluesky, whereas Threads feeds off the huge user base of Instagram. Bluesky just looks more relevant seen from the Fediverse because it attracts a bunch of dorks.
Twitter is where the people are, and the fascists make up less than half. It's like living in America: stick to your neighborhood and you'll be fine, go through the trending hashtags and expect a world of hurt.
