A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Here's everything we know about it so far:

It will use ActivityPub.
It will be a side app of Instagram.
It will most likely be called Threads.
Your Instagram verification status will transfer over.
There will be easy discovery tools in place: Your Instagram followers will be able to follow you on Threads as well (they won't transfer over automatically).

What do you think?

Absolutely not, I deleted all contents from this trash company and don't want to be part of it anymore

I hadn’t thought about or had an account on their shit in sooooo long…years and years…then they got me when I purchased oculus for two of my kids Christmas before last. Making a profile on Facebook depressed me so bad.
