So they peer pressure Insta users to use Threads?

One of my favorite pieces of graffiti ever was right in the middle of the downtown where I grew up- “I opened my mouth to vomit, but all I got were words.” It was there for decades, but it’s gone now.

They only excuse i am allowing is some sort of disability. Everything else doesn’t really matter. Even if the letters look shitty it is all about the message. 🤌

Actually, to Meta’s credit here, they do transparently say this when you make an account.

You can send follow requests to all of your Insta friends, and once they activate a Threads profile, they will see any follow requests they may have gotten.

That is just messed up.

Oh no the social network’s new app uses the social network from the old app…

What did you expect? Honestly, this doesn’t seem nefarious, just a smart way to bootstrap your new product.

Keep in mind, they technically don’t even have to use Instagram’s internal data to do that, they could have scraped publicly available Instagram / Twitter data to do the same.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever ,

Yeah. Even people HERE (who are totally computer experts because they use the internet and sign up for betas…) complain about how “confusing” it is to make an account for mastodon.

This handles that for you. Have an instagram account? your threads is just an opt-in to activate.
