As a result of its access to billions of Instagram users and a resemblance to its rival's design, Meta's Threads amassed more than 30 million sign-ups within around 18 hours of its launch and became the first serious competitor to Elon Musk-owned Twitter.
Threads, dubbed the "Twitter-Killer," was Thursday's top-rated free software in both the US and the UK's Apple software Store. After months of back-and-forth insults, including threats to engage in a live mixed martial arts cage match in Las Vegas, the product has finally arrived.

This was followed by a series of erratic moves that alienated both users and advertisers. The most recent action taken by Musk entailed restricting how many tweets people may read each day.
