Threads’ user count peaked at roughly 49 million on July 7, the day after launch, and fell steadily to just over 11 million by July 29, said David Carr from Similarweb."

Still more than #Mastodon 😉

The OP set up what I think is a false binary between 'good' and 'bad' designers; ignoring that the Silicon Valley design ecosystem incentivises chasing #dailyactiveuser numbers at almost any cost and that it took regulations to reign in the worst of this incentive.

So, it's not a case of good vs bad designers.
