The moment Threads properly implement hashtags and trending topics, Twitter is finished.

Zuckerberg doesn't even need to federate to achieve this. He got well over 100 million signups. He's good.

Even if its 50million ghost accounts, hes got 50 million sign ups

the whole point of a ghost account is that no one had to sign up for it, it's created automatically without the knowledge or consent of the account owner
