Instagram Threads Just Launched, Here’s What’s Happening On There!
A new social media platform that looks (and works) a lot like Twitter, Threads is Meta’s latest release. Self-described as a “sanely-run” competitor to Twitter, Threads was created mostly as a reaction to Elon Musk’s seemingly erratic way of running the blue bird platform. With controversial measures like introducing verification fees and imposing a restrictive daily limit of 600 tweets per user, both the platform and its CEO have faced significant criticism over the past year.
But we digress. Onto Threads! Sign up for the platform and you can can sync it with your Instagram account. It even allows you to autofill your bio and profile picture and to follow your Instagram friends for ease of use. Here’s what has been going on so far on Threads:
