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?

    My take on this:

    If it didn’t support ActivityPub: Why would I? I could just use twitter. If it does support ActivityPub: Why wouldn’t I just use Mastodon that is ad free and doesn’t try to invade my privacy?
