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?
Yes, to all of this.
UX people probably call this “friction” or something. I think the fediverse currently has too much “friction” for the average person.
Whereas with Threads it’ll be as simple as tapping the “Continue using Facebook” button. 🤔
If people are ok with Facebook, why would they be not ok with Twitter?
Oh, I’m sure they are. I just mean, if The Masses are going to try anything, it’s going to be the easier of the two options (with loads of marketing behind it). :)
