Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Threads is a Slack replacement designed for makers," from https://www.linkedin.com/company/threadsgroupinc/

"... and made by makers!"

If they were bought by a bread company, they would have been bade by bakers.

If you are looking for an alternative that’s even more async than Threads, check out https://twist.com/ We (Doist) have been developing it since 2015.

Genuine question - what makes it "more async"? From what I can gather, it has no notification dots or "online" status. Is there also something inherent to the conversation structure that makes it "more async"?

Even after clicking around a bit, I still can’t tell what this “threads” is. Can anyone offer a summary?

The login page is enlightening: > A Slack replacement, not a social app from Instagram

Wish I noticed this before reading the whole announcement!
