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 absolutely agree. I’d be super happy if mainstream corpos joined the fediverse just so I could reach my friends from a side I’m comfortable on. I still cannot understand why messengers like Whatsapp aren’t federated.
