Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince posted a graph to both Threads and Twitter today (Cloudflare’s communications VP Daniella Vallurupalli confirmed it was him) showing what he says is Twitter’s DNS ranking from January to now. It’s, uh, not a great story! Twitter alternative Threads, meanwhile, has been growing explosively — it’s less than three million from the 100 million user mark. It debuted on Wednesday.
Wonder how much of it is because of Threads and how much of it is from making the site inaccessible without accounts and the rate limit.
Hard to tell. It’s been in decline since January though, so some of it is just Twitter being a place people want to be less and less.
They removed the need for an account to view tweets not long after they implemented it.
As far as I know the rate limit is still in effect though.
