On July 6, Threads, Meta’s Twitter substitute, became live and was intended to take the role of Twitter. However, Threads is for users looking for a “less angry place for conversations,” according to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri.
In just 24 hours, millions of people downloaded Instagram’s new text-based discussion tool, Threads, and users are still experimenting with it. When it first launched, Threads was also popular on Twitter and was being considered to be a viable alternative to the microblogging platform. Recently, Twitter made some significant adjustments, including establishing a Rate Limit and preventing users who don’t have Twitter accounts from accessing tweets. Many users were upset by this and searching for another forum to voice their opinions to the globe. Additionally, Instagram’s Threads debuted on schedule.
Threads is not a substitute for Twitter, according to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri, and is for users searching for a “less angry” network.
IANS reports that Mosseri has underlined that Meta has no plans to take the place of Twitter with Threads. Instead, the Elon Musk-run platform and communities on Instagram that never really accepted Twitter are the focus of the Mark Zuckerberg-led company’s effort to create a “public square for communities on Instagram that never really embraced Twitter.” In other words, Elon Musk’s Twitter was never truly taken to heart by users, thus Meta is concentrating on building a less aggressive platform for them.
Additionally, Threads won’t just concentrate on global news and current events.
