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?

    I will probably test it out to see it, but I doubt I’ll use it for long.

    My Twitter was pretty small and mostly just friends and news organizations that I followed, then I pretty much abandoned it for Mastodon. I “use” Facebook but mostly just to lurk and see pictures of friends’ kids.
