Yea idk. Sounds like you can't even have a personal feed? It's like the For You on Twitter all the time. Plus I like Twitter as it's my s*** posting platform whereas FB and Instagram it's people I know.
Giving this a shot. Definitely rough around the edges. I don't like the idea of Meta/Facebook, but at least that gives it some weight behind it. Twitter alternatives from lesser companies just never get momentum.
It is definitely "worlds colliding" for me too. On Twitter I'm just "kerosene31". Facebook and Insta are actually me.

@Kvally will be off the train when he finds out nsfw stuff isn't allowed
For one, don't want it to be solely an app. Don't want to have an Instagram account to open it.
Still waiting...
Already at 30 million sign-ups in a day. And Europe still hasn't launched yet.
The only way Twitter would ever be threatened would be from a billion dollar tech company with the actual capital and man power to put out a rival app. Unfortunately that tech company was Meta. However, using Instagram as a jump off point for Threads was a brilliant idea. It paved a instant way for millions to sign up and even if you didn't have a IG account, signing up for Threads was still easy. Unless you download the IG app you will never see your actual Instagram account, for those of you who don't care about IG.

Elon saw those sign-up numbers and is probably now truly realizing Twitter is in trouble.
F**king Elon "Free Speech" Musk
You can't see the tweet from my previous two posts because it's been limited by Twitter

The exodus has been impressive. I signed up last night and already a huge chunk of who I follow is also on.
None of the other alternatives ever came close to taking off like this. I tried Hive and Mastadon and nothing like this. Hive got some momentum, but the tech couldn't keep up and it just burned out.

That's silly. This is the best thing to happen to Elon, he'll now have someone besides himself to blame for Twitter going tits up. He'll be wrong of course but past experience suggests he can work with that.

This makes me recommend getting threads, or whatever it's called, so you can kill two birds with one stone.
Wonder how many have already given up and are now finding out you can't delete the account without deleting your Instagram account.
