The current social media environment has kind of "forced" people to look for other options.

Threads dropped early and incomplete based on Twitter animosity. Its obviously going to get a big hit initially, but it will die down, even among Instagram users I imagine.

The only really good thing about Threads (so far) is the proposed integration with the Fediverse.

And no Instagram influencer is going to gently caress with that bullshit.

Have they said the integration is anything other than read-only rss style feeds? The little bit of official stuff posted in this thread has only mentioned others being able to "find you" and presumably read your posts

E: eh, I guess there's no real reason not to let you subscribe to external feeds as long as they still have all the analytics and can wrap ads around it, it doesn't really matter where the content came from if you're still in their garden

Do you mean Fediverse integration? From what I have read it seems it will be the same as you can currently do with Mastodon etc...Move your account to another instance, follow others from a different instance, etc...

She has 139M followers on instagram.

They would all get a notification to Follow her on Threads when she imported her followers from Instagram.

Here are a couple good articles on Twitter and Facebook. The second one brings up the point that if Threads makes it easy for all my annoying extended family members to find my posts (because they follow me on FB and IG) then I want nothing to do with it.

Oh, gently caress no.

That’s not how it works. You don’t “import your followers”

People have to opt into following all their insta follows or select which ones individually
