Full disclosure: I've never had a Twitter account and have never really been interested in one, though I've clicked links to Twitter content in the past.
A lot of people are understandably looking for a Twitter alternative, and some may go to threads because it's not Elon, and they may have had good experiences with Instagram. But I would never in a million years make an account on Threads. Zuckerberg may not be overtly incompetent like Elon, but I think his products (especially Facebook) have been responsible for some terrible things, and I think they have egregious practices with personal data.
I hope something less susceptible to corporate takeover and monetization, like mastodon, takes off.
