So we'll have Twitter, Mastodon and now also Threads

The value comes from the users. The market for this seems saturated already, do you think the users will come?

Btw. I don't use these micro blogging systems myself, so I'm genuinely asking

I think what Twitter has become is much more than micro-blogging at this point, it has become a thing of itself, something Mastodon isn't going to copy. Elon is terrible at managing this platform, while people including me dislike Facebook for what it is, I think they will do a much better job to make Threads a much more viable option for the general public if they are able to copy Twitter's secret source.
