I "Think", the last stats I saw related 3 million Threads users - 3 billion for Faceplant I think, and no idea for InstaSPAM, but as I understand it, you need an instaSPAM account to use for your Threads account, IIRC.
Regardless, Lauren, it's easy to filter out all Threads traffic from within your user account on most platforms - even masto. Look around on the Fedi or merely do a search on the Internet, but for those interested, I do remember seeing a few quick tuts in blogs for both masto and the Pleroma family of forks.
Whatever Fediverse platform you use (Hopefully something superior to masto), you can always go into the support chans for that product and ask. Most have a canned tutorial for those who wish to remove / block Threads from their streams.
I've even seen a tutorial for Soapbox/Rebased (applicable to all Pleroma forks I think) that circumvents any blocks that Threads may have placed on your Fediverse instance. That may be obsolete now, I dunno. I do think this workaround needs to be performed at the server level by your admin though, and not your own user account level.
Why don't I have this at my fingertips? Because I've really no intentions of blocking Threads traffic at this time and actually welcome those colonies of subjugated chattel into the Fediverse - I'm optimistic that we can encourage huge numbers of those people, previously assimilated by the borg, into creating Fediverse accounts for themselves on safe and quality platforms such as Mitra, Friendica, Hubzilla, the Misskey and Pleroma family of forks, Takahe, Socialhome, GoToSocial, Pixelfed, etc.
Note that masto is NOT part of that list above ;)
Friendica already has integrated support for seamless internetwork communications between ActivityPub, Diaspora, and the Bluesky networks, which you can turn on or off at anytime from your user account. So that's a major plus.
I hope that helps!
