Instagram’s Threads Application Will Compete With Twitter
Meta Platforms Inc., the owner of Instagram, has chosen not to comment on the matter. By introducing Threads, Meta aims to capitalize on Twitter’s recent issues since its acquisition by Elon Musk last year. Some of the problems that have frustrated users and prompted them to seek alternative platforms include Twitter’s relaxed content moderation policies and the introduction of a monthly subscription fee for authentication. Twitter has also faced challenges with site reliability, recently imposing temporary restrictions on the number of posts users can view.
Although Twitter has existing rivals like Mastodon and Bluesky, these alternatives are still in their early stages and have not yet established robust networks. Instagram has been generating excitement for its upcoming app by collaborating with celebrities and influencers for several months. The App Store listing describes Threads as a platform where communities can come together to discuss current and trending topics. The app is currently available for pre-order and is expected to be released on Thursday.
