It imports everything from Instagram, so yes. It actually works the way blue checks were intended and runs better than Twitter has ever ran.

Threads is Twitter but TikTok. Single feed. If they figure out monetization it'll kill.

threads kinda feeds into what i said about the internet splitting apart again because it feels insanely corporate and will probably be where all the brand accounts go

Oh no, my favorite brands! I must get an instagram account so I can interact with them!

So far Threads sounds a lot like reading the poo poo at the bottom of CNN, where it's all a bunch of clickbait poo poo tailored to be interesting to the greatest number of people.

Lol that the first match for "Threads" in the Google Play store is a different app named Threads made by someone else, the real one doesn't even show up in my results unless I add "Instagram" to the search :allears:

if you already have an instagram account it takes literally 2 seconds to add threads so i imagine it will get a lot of extremely casual engagement but i cant imagine it attracting many people who dont already have an insta

I used to love chronological order but it really doesn't work once you follow more than, like, a hundred people. You're constantly missing good rear end content because you didn't check your feed at the right time. What I need is an algorithm that helps me rank exclusively stuff by people I follow.

all of our most thin skinned celebs and brands will flock to threads bc theres no chance of ever being challenged there and bluesky will end up being another quite good but completely unmonetizable idea from jack dorsey, as it should be

Advertising, noted for its refusal to use sex in any way.

You can INFER sex to a point, but getting anywhere near showing a female nipple makes it outright Adult Content and the pearl-clutchers will be at their doors (If not coming down from the boardroom) to yell at them for having sexual content near THEIR CHILDREN :byodame: or that it's NOT CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC!! :byodood:

Yeah people think they want chronological but then don't like it when they have it.

Well yeah they have social media managers paid to jump on this type of platform as soon as possible. I'm sure they had a strategy and 20-50 pithy, engagement-driving tweets lined up from the word go.

considering social media algorithms are based on machine learning using content as input I don't think we can really tell if Threads' algorithm is better or worse than twitter yet, it will probably require a couple days of content to start to really do its thing

Threads has literally been around for like three hours you all have the attention span and patience of gnats
