I don't like the idea of making a Facebook/IG account just to have a less-toxic way of getting news when the platform will become a cesspool within weeks.

Also I deleted my old FB account years ago.

You can't build a Twitter replacement atop an app for attractive people. The vibes are gonna be all wrong.

They all turn out the same it seems.
I stopped using mine a while ago and then eventually deleted it when it turned to meta.

Yeah, to be clear all Threads requires is an instagram account.

Every "Twitter replacement" has turned into a cesspool of toxicity and illegal content far worse than Twitter itself.

Will Threads be the same?

It will be interesting to see if one wins out and actually disrupts Twitter. So far Mastodon hasn't been able to disrupt Twitter too much.

Why would you want to stay on Musk's Twitter when non-alt-right alternatives are becoming available?

Oh yeah and Mastodon was supposed to be the alternative months ago, but supposedly its difficult to navigate. So yeah, Im staying with twitter for now. Unless my friends start jumping to threads

Not sure we can safely claim this about Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg.

Because, believe it or not, I dont have to be subjected to alt-right dipshits if I stay following my own timeline of leftists and news sources

I'm going to stay on Twitter for now and see what happens. I use it as a news aggregate. As soon as it stops becoming that, I'll stop using it. I'm not in love with giving Meta any of my information for Threads.

For sure! Yeah I think they set it up to connect with Instagram because it has so many users already (more than Twitter) and the userbase is still fairly active.

Only until Musk decides to remove the blocking feature, which as I recall he was floating the idea of a while back because of everybody blocking Blue subscribers and accounts with heavily promoted tweets, which tend to be alt-right shitheads and/or crypto shitheads.

Yeah honestly people here have too much faith in Elon Musk still. I don't think he's done ruining Twitter, not even close.

I don't expect Zuckerbot to be a savior, but at least he can maintain a functioning service for the most part.

Oh. Zuck is serious.

This is the first serious competitor to Twitter that I've seen so far. Could also solve the fediverse being a pain in the ass to use. Every other app or fed has had scaling issues.

Yep. I had to download Instagram to make an account so I could get on Threads. Here's hoping they update it so you can actually filter your feed based on people you follow.

glad to see it launched meta has like 10x or more users than twitter via facebook and infinitely deep pockets. zuck sucks but at least he isn't an alt right lunatic like musk and doesn't actively try to make his platforms alt right shitholes

threads will end up having the normal people while twitter will keep the alt right trolls

Having done absolutely no research and no plans to do so I'm going to assume it's running on IG servers based solely on the logo design and the account situation.
