Until you realize Threads goal is to also take down the Fediverse :(
They have plan to adopt the same standard “in future”. That mean we have plenty of time to check the beast from afar. Not perfect but not an immediate “thread” either.
The problem right now is that ask a s***load of personal information to use the app and if later you want to leave, you can’t unless you erase your Instagram account too.
How is that possible?
A tactic used by Microsoft and Google in the past:

Basically they embrace an open standard , extend with proprietary nonsense and then extinguish it with sheer incompetency or greed.
Is that the official threads logo? Damn, that thing is so ugly! Should be an official dictionary definition of overdesigned!
I hope they take each other down.
Thing is that Threads plans to be able to connect to the fediverse as a whole. So who knows what the future holds for Mastodon.
Once they get enough users, they’ll probably get rid of the Fediverse part of threads and make it just threads
Who does the black logo represents
“Threads,” the new corporate Twitterlike by the same dbag techbro oligarchs who own Facebook and Instagram.
Apparently Twitter is threatening to sue them for hiring up all the coders that Musk was stupid enough to fire.
Lmao. That’s amazing
Do you habe a source for that? I would have thought Meta has more than enough software engineers for a simple app like this. For all the hard parts about a social media they are already experts with FB and Instagram. Lol
