I wonder though why did they use IG platform and not FB platform? Has FB platform grown so bad that it can't be used for implementing new things anymore?
From what I have seen so far Threads seems to have been an incredibly rushed and premature launch, done directly to counter Twitter's missteps from the last few weeks. And the decision is proving to be the absolute correct one. What I don't understand is why Bluesky didn't seize the opportunity first. People were literally banging on their doors begging to be let in and they continued to go "sorry we are exclusive, i…
Clearly this is just something they haven't got around to implementing yet.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
>The purpose of deleting an account (versus deactivating) is to remove your records with that company so what would the purpose of deleting just a Threads account be? ... to delete your records on Threads.
I mean, you can't delete your account on Google Sheets but leave Google Docs intact. So it really depends on whether you think you have a separate Threads account, or just an Instagram account that Threads uses. It seems like the latter is the case though.

Instagram head of content posted on Threads: "To clarify, you can deactivate your Threads account, which hides your Threads profile and content, you can set your profile to private, and you can delete individual threads posts – all without deleting your Instagram account. Threads is powered by Instagram, so right now it's just one account, but we're looking into a way to delete your Threads account separately."
sounds reasonable TBH

rule of thumb is never register with your name, always use throwaway emails and accounts. that way social media will never have leverage over you. threads app gathers more data than TikTok ( https://twitter.com/deepaksonar911/status/167674841107126681... )
Agreed with almost everything except for: > threads app gathers more data than TikTok Now you need a credible source for that claim. Not defending either of them but such claims require credible evidence.

They obviously piggy-backed excessively off of Instagram and the limitations are very annoying (at least for now). I wonder how much of the decision to link Threads so tightly with Instagram was for technical reasons and speed to launch. Because I could also see them wanting to use their Instagram user base to seed the new app, as opposed to their older and probably more conservative Facebook user base.
