So Instagram just replaced Twitter with Threads

[Blackrogue]

Instagram just started up threads. Basically Twitter. Everyone is jumping ship and proclaiming their love for it, and swearing they aren't going back to Twitter. Let's see if this is a valid alternative.

money has been poured and these peope saying they are on threads are plants. So far KD and Kuzma enough said

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

Nikka the point ain't about me I don't give a fukk about porn

The point is about the habits of people and how these things always go

And I didn't even say Twitter was better because of porn. You missed the entire next sentence about how Twitter has an excellent interface?

Wtf you on breh?

Good, I hate Elon Musk..been praying for the death of Twitter since he lost money on it.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

No way this replaces twitter if porn is not allowed

Also Twitter's interface is mostly where they win. It's simple, clean and easy to see. Other discourse/chat platforms fukk up on being cluttered and annoying to visually navigate

You need to seek help.. 95% of the users don’t even know porn is on Twitter..

Y’all need to log off and enjoy the company of women in real life. Touch them, smell them or somethin.

Threads already has over 95 million posts​

The Instagram-based app launched on Wednesday night and had activated more than 30 million profiles by Thursday morning.​

Instagram’s new Threads app seems like it could be a hit. Mark Zuckerberg said that the app has more than 30 million sign-ups as of Thursday morning, and people who are checking it out are posting... er, threading... a lot, too. According to internal data I’ve seen, there have already been more than 95 million posts and 190 million likes shared.

All that has happened in less than 24 hours. The app launched Wednesday evening on iOS and Android (significantly earlier than the original Thursday launch time), and a lot of people are checking it out; it’s currently the top free app on the App Store.

There’s still a lot missing from Threads. You can’t delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram account, for example, and the app doesn’t have features like DMs, a reverse-chronological following feed, or a planned integration with the decentralized ActivityPub protocol. But these launch numbers point to a promising start for Meta’s new Twitter competitor.

Now, we’ll have to wait and see if people stick around.

EU Users Find Ways to Download Meta’s Unavailable Threads App​

European football teams, media like Le Monde and Agence France-Presse and other organizations on the continent have found a way to get Meta Platforms Inc.’s new Threads app, even though the company hasn’t launched it in the European Union.

Verified accounts for French media companies Le Figaro and Liberation were posting on the app the day it went live on Thursday as well as left wing French lawmaker Francois Ruffin, who deleted an initial post. German football club RB Leipzig and French peer Saint-Etienne also started posting on Threads, as well as a verified account for Real Madrid player Eduardo Camavinga.

Threads, which according to Mark Zuckerberg had already garnered more than 30 million users after it went live on Thursday morning, won’t be available in app stores in the 27 European Union countries while the company works out how the bloc’s regulations around data use will affect the app, a person familiar with the matter has said.


Still, there are other ways of getting access, such as connecting to the US App Store for the iPhone users, or an Android package kit. Also known as APKs, these programs let Android users download apps manually that aren’t on their Google Play store.

“Our subscribers are all French, it is not complicated to join the app”, said Mickaël Frison, who handles social networks for French daily Liberation. “It is a matter of days or weeks before politicians start to join if the conversation happens there.”

Representatives for the other media groups and football clubs didn’t respond to requests for comment. Ruffin didn’t respond to a request for comment. Real Madrid didn’t immediately respond on behalf of Camavinga.

Not everyone likes zero censorship, regardless of how much we try to tell ourselves we do

There's a difference between zero censorship (Twitter) and Instagram where you can't even say "assault" or "suicide" uncensored in a post/caption.

I don't mind some censorship, but Meta goes way overboard.
