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?

    nope lol. last thing this world needs is “twitter… AGAIN!” (and that’s coming from someone who actually uses bluesky). best thing i can hope for is that it won’t be an embrace, extend, extinguish scheme for activitypub.
