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?

    Why would you join when you can just follow the accounts that interest you on it from Lemmy or Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma/etc ???

      I’m a photographer and I have a relatively large following on Instagram; all my professional and social contacts are on there. So, that’s why it’s personally appealing to me. The Fediverse has (so far) been a bit of a lonely experience for me (but I still like it a lot).
