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.
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. 🤌
That was my first thought as well. Facebook is simply too different to Twitter in ways that Instagram is actually similar. On Facebook you’re blogging your life for others to follow. On Instagram and Twitter people are blogging a little of their own, but most users are there to follow others (usually big names or important people) and to comment on events those larger names are blogging about.
If you look carefully at Meta’s actions in the last few years, you’ll notice they’re slowly stepping away from the Facebook brand and product. I suspect that they no longer internally consider Facebook to be their main product, giving way for Instagram, which at the moment is a lot more popular and despite the obvious association doesn’t have a tainted name the same way Facebook does.
