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?
It 100% is. They talk to someone on @mastodon.social in the screenshots. :)
That might just be a mock up. Probably still fair to say that it’s most likely planned at the moment.
Edit: in fact one of the accounts shown on the screenshots never was in a conversation like that.
