Well, it’s basically an extension to your insta account. So I imagine when you sign up, it sends requests to others you know to make it seem like everybody uses it.
Thanks for the compliment! Once in awhile we get lucky! My photography instructor told me years ago that you can tell the quality of a photographer by the size of their waste basket 🤓.
Yes they are. There were tons of people waiting to leave Twitter for something better. What makes Threads the better alternative is they already have Instagram accounts and so does everybody they know. Joining Threads took me 30 seconds.
It seems obvious because they literally said that’s what they’re doing. They’re not trying to hide it.
If you have an Instagram account, it literally takes a single click to sign up for Threads. Your Instagram account is the same as your Threads account.
yeah there’s also a difference in someone who is expecting private messages to stay private only to then have your handle get attention in a bigass community, did u forget the linked pic this thread is about lol
Wait, so you’re saying that someone publicly posting screenshots of their conversation expects the screenshots to stay private? Or do you honestly think that keeping the twitter handle will dox the other person in the conversation where their name isn’t visible in the first place?
Additionally, it’s not hard to find the original tweet by looking up the text. It took me all of 15 seconds.
im so confused. I thought a guy was saying the original poster should have unblocked the name of the guy being weird with his song, i was saying that would be bad
In reddit, not blurring the person can lead to the comment section being angry at the person for some reason and in that case the person will get death threats in the best case scenario. There are many past examples of this. So all names remotely related to the real discussion (like here) better be removed.
Maybe Lemmy would be cooler than that but I’m not sure.
In the “look at this foolish person posting something showing how stupid they are” situations that’s the case and it makes sense. In “this person openly posted content you’re removing the indicator of their rightful ownership from” situations it’s not cool.
I smell an antitrust lawsuit coming up. Whether we hate Twitter or not, they could have a valid case against Meta here as this shit is anti-competitive as fuck. If Elon is smart enough, and that’s a big if, he could seize the opportunity to sue Meta over this and win. To just be able to recycle existing Instagram users gives Meta an unfair advantage over existing microblogging social media platforms.
But they aren’t forcing Threads as a default. They are associating Instagram accounts to Threads accounts, the same way Google associates GMail accounts to GDrive.
We all hate Facebook, but can we hate them for the things that they actually do, instead of inventing false reasons to hate them?
Good point, the GMail and GDrive analogy is indeed more accurate. Though I don’t believe Google is a good example as it is actually the subject of many antitrust lawsuits.
