I forget completely about Threads, until about every 3 months when an article about it pops up on HN.

I don’t know where these 30M users are, but none of them are anybody in my work/family/friends circle.

And very little chatter about it here on HN either.

I know literally zero people using it, or at the very least talking about using it or sharing stories from it.

HN users have long been calling Facebook a dead platform because none of their contacts are there. Yet FB has 130M dau in north America. Threads will be fine too.

not only that, they just posted a great quarter and their stock's taken a jump on that news.

That's just 10% of China's population though-- not much.

One US & Canada user is worth 3x a European user and 15x ROW (rest of the world) user to Facebook.

I'm not sure the relevance of the population of China, to the number of US Facebook users.
