This is what Instagram’s upcoming Twitter competitor looks like
www.theverge.com
Meta says people want a communications platform that’s “sanely run.”

Here’s everything we know about it so far:

  • It will use ActivityPub.
  • It will be a side app of Instagram.
  • It will most likely be called Threads.
  • Your Instagram verification status will transfer over.
  • There will be easy discovery tools in place: Your Instagram followers will be able to follow you on Threads as well (they won’t transfer over automatically).

What do you think?

    The Meta Plan:

    1. We’re going to use ActivityPub because we love the Fediverse!!!
    2. Now we’re live, here’s some improvements to AP, now they’re not standard but we’re working closely with the AP guys. It would help if you all pleaded with them to accept these changes- they’re just to make things better!
    3. Yay! All the changes were implemented and we’ve formed the AP Council, we might invite some of the old AP guys to it.

      It’s so sad, that what you’re saying isn’t totally new to me but has happened on a few occasions already:(
