This really doesn't seem to fit in with what Instagram has been.

Why make it a separate app?

Several of my friends left FB for IG because it's not text - adding back conversation would kill the picture/video only vibe?

I agree with that sentiment. I don't think it would have to be the same feed, tho. Kinda like how you can look at reels only.

But if there's text and visual, two separate feeds, would you even want to follow the same people?

Good point.

Yeah, I wonder what the reasoning was for using it instead of FB? I guess because a lot of people are already using FB that way?

The smart guys at Twitter just sent a push notification to my phone about Instagram's Threads announcement. Literally free advertising for their new competitor.

Is Elon your dad? Why do you care?

You cry a lot about it too.

I say Elon does a lot of dumb **** with Twitter because he objectively does. Again, why so defensive?

I am making an observation
y’all bitch about it but still use it when as stated there are other platforms

But why were you mad? One alternative just started today, and everyone one follows would also need to migrate to the same platform for that to make sense

I am not mad
As stated it is my observation
Go ahead and continue.

 

[Velo Vol]

Dumb.

How hard an it be to make a text-based social media platform that doesn't blow?

 

[n_huffhines]

Twitter silently removes login requirement for viewing tweets

Yes, clearly not mad lolol. People with no Twitter are still here just to defend Daddy Elon’s honor

Go then
you bitch about Twitter enough
****ing leave

“Bitching” would be someone with no Twitter complaining about people discussing Twitter in the Twitter thread lmao, run along now

It's not sane behavior

 

[NashVol11]

It's not sane behavior

Agreed. The Elon fanboys with no Twitter should maybe ask themselves why no one who uses the site is speaking up alongside them

(And also ask themselves why they are in this thread, but I digress)

Meta takes aim at Twitter with Threads app, millions join (msn.com)

 

[n_huffhines]

Seems like a lot, but IDK. I wonder where the tipping point is where this could actually be a true competitor.

Instagram's Threads bursts out of the gate with more than 23 million sign-ups
