On Wednesday night, Meta released its latest social media platform: Threads, an app by Instagram. Available in over 100 countries, the application is already wildly popular. To get started, users only need to log in with their Instagram credentials, and they can start using this new platform.
I downloaded the new app as soon as it became available in Brazil. Threads have a similar interface to Twitter. It’s a timeline with your followers and accounts that Meta thinks you should see. You can search for people or posts, write your own, see the interactions, and check your own profile. That said, your profile link back to Instagram and vice-versa.
That said, I like to keep things separate, so my Instagram account is private. In addition, people that follow me there aren’t waiting for my tech takes, so it’s weird to see a family member or that person who worked in my high school reading my thoughts on Threads – and, to make it clear, I would love to use this platform as a replacement for Twitter, but worlds are currently colliding.
