So they are copying twitter now, I guess the circle of the internet has been completed, or maybe they after they fail this they will take a shoot on copying vbulletin/ipb forums from 2007 again?

I really can't see the point in this. > Tagline: “Instagram for your thoughts.” That will be a hard no from me thanks.

What's the point of posting this? You may not be their target demographic. No one's forcing you to use it.

If I see a post about a new Lisp dialect (something I have no interest in), commenting "That will be a hard no from me thanks." is a waste of time and space.

Isn't instagram twitter-like already? So it seems they want to capitalize on the Mastodon crowd and make a centralized version that works well.

At least they should revert back to 140-200 character limit. Twitters extended tweets is a mistake and are degrading it

An opinon on what the OP of the comment thinks about it?

That's the joy of HN. You get the folks who are bullish on a 'new' idea, and those who aren't.

I'm curious to hear why people would be enticed by this app when it seems to be nothing more than recycled mastodon by one of the least privacy centric companies in the world.
