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?

    Jack Dorsey’s clone/competitor is dead on arrival for me. Dorsey endorsed an anti-vaccination conspiracy theorist for the American presidential election. So… Yeah, not going to touch that one.

      i’m pretty confident most of the benefits of Bluesky are also literally just “it doesn’t have all the users Twitter does” because their wait list is what, 2 million? of course the site isn’t a shitshow, it has like no people! and when it does, it’ll go just like Twitter, lol.
