   @Tchambers Is there any real evidence that Threads is growing much beyond its Instagram starter-set and the initial surge (and converting some to Fedi accounts). I’m not seeing much evidence of it in feeds I watch carefully, but I’m not aware of many reliable data sources.

     @shoq @Tchambers@mastodon.social Hi - just back from some travel... this is an estimate of web site visits (desktop and mobile web) not app usage, but it is what data we can get in between formal announcements.

     @tchambers@indieweb.social @Tchambers Thanks. That seems to confirm those saying that Threads growth has “flat-lined,” not just recently, but since December. But even more concerning is that we know many Twitter elites have moved there in only last 6 months, so even they had marginal impact. If accurate, this is good or bad news, depending on one’s goals or perspective.

     @shoq @Tchambers@mastodon.social Hard to say, I'd think a ton of traffic is using the mobile apps and those are invisible to this, unfortunately.

     @tchambers Maybe, but it would be weird for desktop to flatline while mobile did not ( regardless of the percentage using either). I suppose it’s possible, but I can’t imagine what might explain the disparity.
