This is what Instagram’s upcoming Twitter competitor looks like
www.theverge.com
Meta says people want a communications platform that’s “sanely run.”

Here’s everything we know about it so far:

  • It will use ActivityPub.
  • It will be a side app of Instagram.
  • It will most likely be called Threads.
  • Your Instagram verification status will transfer over.
  • There will be easy discovery tools in place: Your Instagram followers will be able to follow you on Threads as well (they won’t transfer over automatically).

What do you think?

    Not very interested, except if everyone I follow on twitter goes there (which I doubt would happen, as they’re already cloning all their tweets on mastodon). But it would sure be nice to have a twitter that’s not run by fucking elon musk. Meta aren’t saints but they’ve never implemented absolutely dumb decisions as far as I know, nor does its CEO keep spouting nonsense and trying to be the center of attention at all times. I won’t ever install a Meta app on my phone, but I still think I actually prefer Zuckerberg over absolute clowns like Musk or Spez.
