This has been scuttlebutt (inc the name) for at least a few months. The big thing was the ActivityPub compatibility
Is the activitypub compatibility confirmed?
So after all, you can write twitter in a week, it seems.
This has been in the works since January and still hasn't been released, so at least half a year
There's massive pent-up demand for an alternative, and so far Bluesky and Mastodon haven't been able to fulfill it due to scalability and network stickiness reasons. Meta can absorb all of twitter's traffic without breaking stride, and they'll have a userbase in the millions within hours of launch that's able to hop over from IG.
RIP twitter, 2006-2023.
On the fediverse, there's already a huge number of instances planning to block this app when possible as it isn't really in the spirit of the fediverse - it's proprietary, owned by a large company and centralized
Big signals that Musk made a lot of mistakes with twitter if Meta scrambled to ship a competitor like this. I don’t use Twitter so I won’t use this either but it’ll be interesting to see if the instagram folks can take this market from twitter.
This has been known to be coming for quite a while, so it’s probably just opportune timing on their part being close enough to ready to ship. But hooooly crap does it underscore how much of a catastrophe Musk’s actions are.

Musk made a lot of mistakes with twitter Now call me crazy but I disagree. I think - or rather I feel - he's doing an excelent job somehow. He's doing what other executives are afraid to do: he's building and building requires some walls to be hammered down ; and yeah this makes some noise and smoke. He's moving fast and breaking things (if you'd excuse the easy punt). To me, what he's doing is exciting and I think t…
Every single change he has made to Twitter is exclusively to claw back income from users because he made all of the advertisers leave. Anyone competent would have just added the features they wanted without burning 80% of the company's income and staff.

Twitter’s gonna be a ghost town soon the way it’s trending. Instagram is providing a lifeboat, and it’s a known quantity of “evil”. Compared to whatever the heck Musk is doing.
What is the trend? Downwards in the sense of a few percent a year? Or a week?
So it begins...
Seems closer to the ending at this point (for Twitter).
Fb hasn't been original from a long time. From trying to launch a substack competitor, stealing snapchat features, creating reels, etc. Now, developer wise, is a different game. React, Pytorch, Prophet, etc... hit after hit.
Twitter can be a "cesspool" but I don't trust fb at all.

Funnily enough, I scrolled to the "Data Linked to You" section and was not disappointed.
Everything but your DNA, and if they could ask for that I’m sure they would
