Any non-invite launch will peak heavily to start, and drop very quickly after. One thing I'd be very curious about is what their WAU will be a month from now. This is the death knell for any social network - can you get ongoing engagement instead of just "Testing this new platform for the first time, here's a dog pic" type posts?
One thing that worries me for their longevity is that they don't actually offer any tangible user benefit. Right now their biggest sales pitch is that they're "not twitter". Many of those users who were looking for a solid replacements have moved to mastodon already, so it'll be interesting to see if they have long term stickiness.
Still that doesn't discount that this is a massive amount of users on day 1. Big props to the team!
