Threads isn’t for news and politics, says Instagram’s boss​

Adam Mosseri ran Facebook’s News Feed in 2016, and now he tells Alex Heath that politics and hard news aren’t ‘worth the scrutiny, negativity (let’s be honest), or integrity risks.’​

Instagram’s new Threads app is “not going to do anything to encourage” politics and “hard news,” Instagram boss Adam Mosseri said in a Threads conversation with The Verge’s Alex Heath.

The additional scrutiny, negativity, and integrity risks that come with politics and hard news aren’t worth the “incremental engagement or revenue,” Mosseri wrote.
“There are more than enough amazing communities — sports, music, fashion, beauty, entertainment, etc. — to make a vibrant platform without needing to get into politics or hard news.” (Mosseri’s strong point of view here is likely informed by his time running Facebook’s News Feed.)

In recent years, Meta has distanced itself from news and politics, including reducing the amount of political content that users see on Facebook. It even dropped “News” from the name of the Facebook Feed last year. The company also responded to a new Canadian law that would require it to pay for local news by saying it will yank news from Facebook and Instagram in the country.

While Threads is assuredly a take on Twitter, a platform tying itself in knots under new ownership, Mosseri is apparently thinking much bigger. Following along with his boss, Mark Zuckerberg's statement about finding a “clear path to 1 billion people,” Mosseri said:

The goal isn’t to replace Twitter. The goal is to create a public square for communities on Instagram that never really embraced Twitter and for communities on Twitter (and other platforms) that are interested in a less angry place for conversations, but not all of Twitter.

Threads launched on Wednesday and has proven to be a big hit; it’s already surpassed 70 million signups. But the vibe, so far, is decidedly not like what you might be familiar with from Twitter: the only available feed is an algorithmic one, and that feed is already flooded with celebrities and brands.

Still, it seems inevitable that politics and news will trickle onto Threads in some way, especially if politicians and journalists use the platform during the 2024 presidential election cycle. And Instagram is working on a feed just for people you follow and a chronological feed, which, at least for me, should make Threads a much more useful place to find news. But it sounds like Instagram won’t be going out of its way to make Threads what Twitter once was — so don’t get your hopes up for some kind of Thread-Deck.

The fact that that's even considered a point pretty much backs up what I said. Threads likely gone have everything that twitter already has within a month or two, minus the porn possibly, but most of the posts from y'all is like "well twitter has porn and meta censor everything so twitter can never die"...so how else am I sposed to take it?

Not specifically you but that's what I seen a lot of y'all mentioning. I like porn too, but it doesn't make me wanna prioritize twitter over anything better if twitter is now on some bullshyt. They can leave twitter as the only fans ad/timeline app for all I care but I don't see a reason to try to convince myself that it's better just because they also have porn.

Reddit is better for that anyway and over there you don't have to deal with mentally handicapped peoples in between posts during your fap session

Reddit is just dudes reposting clips most of time. And many girls just sign up to take down content. Yes, some guys organize content into packs that you can download through linkvertise....but I'd rather comb through leak sites to pick what I want in most cases.

On Twitter the girls actually post clips and nudes. Plus there is some interaction. Only bad part is when the OF girls retweet other OF girls with ones you don't want to see. The regular porn girls usually just promote themselves.

Na reddit is much better and has way more variety. I'm not tryna go on no 3 hour adventure just to find some shyt I could've found in 5 min. And there's bytches that post their content there, just usually smaller followings.

All the classic porn sites still getting daily uploads tho. Or are you already up to date on all of them?

Yeah, so... #Threads is indeed automatically creating accounts for those who already have an Instagram account. Confirmed that with one of my lovely girlfriends. That lovely 70 million number which Zuck is putting forward? That's just the active Instagram account number. That's it. It's a...
