Within a short period after its launch, the app has crossed over 100 million sign-ups, meaning the user count has surpassed 100 million. Mark Zuckerberg himself has provided this information. The company describes this app as a text-sharing and public conversation app.
If we compare it to Elon Musk’s Twitter, this app is quite different. It resembles the older versions of Twitter, where you can share your thoughts in the form of text. Meanwhile, Twitter itself is transforming into a video-text-based social media platform from a microblogging site.
