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’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.
Dorsey’s one is the cryptobro version of Twitter (nostr). The one that says “all moderation must be done at instance level because free speech”.
It doesn’t have a single website (it’s mostly apps) but you can use web clients like https://web.nostrid.app/ to find out it seems to be populated with cryptobros and conspiracy theories.
At least BS tries to do something fediverse-like, although they’ve gone public before they managed to get their federation working so who knows how long that will last.
