Tempted to join just to help boost those numbers.
I did. Lol. Never gonna use it :P
On my phone, it’s #1 under most downloaded of ALL apps hahaha
I just checked in Android and it's surprisingly #8. Friggin threads is #3 which is shocking cause I never hear or see anything about it. X is at #25 just behind mcdonalds lol. I'm not smart enough to know exactly what that means tho because pretty much everyone already has X/Twitter/whatever the fuck it's called so of course that wouldn't show up super high on there. I've also had multiple phones with it preloaded onto the OS.
Of course instagram and tik tok and Snapchat and Whatsapp are all pretty high up there so maybe it's pretty solid evidence of that dumpster fire actually burning.
Threads posts show up on Instagram and if you want to view one it redirects you to the Play Store. I feel that's why it's so high up.
