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?
They wanted Twitter users many of whom use pseudoynms to migrate across.

a) Meta Threads which is unrelated to Meta, Threads or apps is trademarked in May, 2018. [1] b) Threads.com raises Seed round back in Oct, 2018. [2] c) Meta acquires Meta Threads trademark in Nov, 2021. d) Threads as a trademark itself has been widely used well before Threads.com.

Not sure how A C, D are relevant, trademarks pertain only to a specific category. Meta Threads was trademarked for luggage and backpacks. It'll be interesting to see if threads.com has a trademark.
But D is relevant because of course trademarks are highly specific to a category.
And so Threads (social network) would be considered different to Threads (business chat).
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…
A social network being invite-only is such an obvious non-starter that I genuinely can't imagine the conversation that went into that decision. Assuming the basic underlying tech works more often that not (and ideally some story for community moderation), there's literally nothing I want from a Twitter competitor other than having everyone on it . My interest in a Twitter competitor that is invite-only is and will al…

Google Plus (invite only) failed in a similar way.

Why has everyone on here been comparing Threads to Twitter when threads.com literally says its a Slack alternative for makers ? The product has absolutely nothing to do with a Twitter style social network. Edit: lol so FAANG just steals any and all actively used product names now. Got it.
Threads.com != Threads( twitter clone ) by meta
One Google Play Store, Threads the chat app has "not affiliated with Threads by Instagram" in their listing. I wonder if they are getting lots of downloads by confused people.
I don't have an Instagram account so I tried to create one to try Threads. I used my real name and phone number but it was instantly banned as soon as it was created. I submitted an appeal, which required a selfie taken while holding a piece of paper with my username on it, which I provided. The next day I got an automated email that the selfie wasn't "acceptable" (no further elaboration) and that I was permanently b…

Still hear about it, but its either “No one is there” from people on it or “I can’t get an invite” from people not.
Mind boggling how even with prior knowledge and multiple opportunities, they replicated the Google plus mistake to the minutiae.
I actually figured that this was the strategy, but now that they let that golden moment pass them by I now realise that nobody there has any idea what the fuck they’re doing.
Guess Jack just wants it to be a haven for all the worst blue checkmark behaviour of Twitter, in which case I commend him for creating a containment website.
