Yea, well, it‘s Meta, so what would you expect…

There's some fediverse Instagram clone instances known as pixelfied and plemora, check out fediverse.info

I’m actually excited about Threads because it supposedly uses ActivityPub. I know all my non-techie friends are going to use it and I should be able to participate from my self-hosted Mastodon instance.

I feel seek watching that screenshot

I bet they r just being lazy and can get away with it. Wasn't going to use it anyway.

Yay, another sword to fall onto.

Seriously, I'm curious how it goes. Meta can pour an insane amount of money into this, but that didn't work for the Metaverse. People already use IG as a Twitter replacement anyway, and Twitter itself just left a lot of people in a bad taste in their mouth.

So I would predict this doesn't have much of a place anywhere, but who knows.

But how else will they know what to sell you? Won't someone think of the poor advertisers?!

[–] BlueDepth9279@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Seems a bit excessive.

[–] ImperialATAT@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That seems reasonable. I think I’ll throw in my social security number and DNA sample for good measure… just in case they need it.
