Thread feature roundup: I hope it's more candid than Instagram and healthier than Twitter

'Threads', created by Meta as a counterhorse to Twitter, has finally been released. With a hot response, 10 million people signed up in 7 hours. It is similar in core usability to Twitter, but there are still many features that are lacking, but it is also growing rapidly in conjunction with Instagram, which has 2 billion monthly active users. I took a light look at threads and summarized the characteristics I found.

Thread is a Twitter and text version of Instagram created by Meta. The basic usability is like Twitter, but the content uploaded is still close to Instagram.

📕 Editor's Notes

It's Twitter, but it's not Twitter, so the majority of reactions say they like it. There was also an opinion that they expected it to be more honest than Instagram and sounder than Twitter. It is evaluated that the clean UI and usability are still usable.

The first thought that comes to mind is, what's different about Instagram and what about Facebook? was It still has a strong impression of Instagram with smaller photos and Facebook without ads. Meta announced that Thread also provides access to Pediverse by applying a decentralized SNS method called Mastodon. If so, it could be a form of growing together rather than eating each other's services.
