Within hours of its launch, more than 10million users signed up to Mark Zuckerberg‘s “text-based conversation” app.

Tech competitor Elon Musk tweeted about Threads and wrote: “It is infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter, than indulge in the false happiness of hide-the-pain Instagram.”

Everyone is talking about the new app, and “Threads” became the top trending word on Twitter today.

Fans have shared their thoughts and one penned: “Twitter is dead now for real.”

Another commented: “Twitter is dead so check out my thread, not even going to lie Thread is the most unhinged fun app I’ve ever used.”

“Twitter dead I’m off this, we on Threads now”, agreed a third.

“Twitter is dead, long live threads”, wrote a fourth.

Threads is going live in the UK at midnight tonight and aims to offer users longer posts linked to their Instagram.

Mark Zuckerberg posted on his new app and said: “10million sign ups in seven hours.”

He also tweeted an image, aimed at his opponent Elon Musk, of two cartoon Spidermans pointing at each other he claimed Threads could see one billion users join.
