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?

    Good thing about it is that since it will use ActivityPub, all fediverse instances can restrict it and they’ll lose a big chunk of possible content.
