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 can’t trust big tech to do anything remotely good anymore, after what’s happened with… well, basically every single social media platform owned by them. I’m sure I’ll take a peek at it but I haven’t touched Facebook or Instagram in years for several reasons, so I really don’t want to give Meta any more of my attention.
