[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]Despite Twitter’s unwavering dominance as the go-to platform for public discourse online, Mark Zuckerberg has consistently pushed to dethrone it. Meta is now set to debut Threads, a Twitter competitor that has been teased for quite some time.
Threads, an Instagram-linked software, made its debut on Apple’s software Store on Thursday, allowing users to sign up for download. The app is similar to Twitter in that it focuses on public dialogues and allows users to follow people they already follow on Instagram.
Some technology aficionados have even labelled this future software a “Twitter killer.”
Since last year, Meta officials have been looking into methods to capitalise on Twitter’s problems, including the creation of a competing service. The New York Times reported in December that an internal Meta post stated, “Twitter is in crisis, and Meta needs its mojo back.” LET’S GO GET SOME BREAD AND BUTTER.”

As a result, Threads evolved as an Instagram-derived rapid development initiative known internally as initiative 92. According to the photo previews available on Apple’s App Store, the app will allow users to sign in conveniently using their Instagram accounts.
Meta officials have positioned the programme as a “well-managed” incarnation of a public-facing social network, alluding to Mr. Musk’s unpredictable behaviour.
Mr. Musk and Twitter did not respond immediately when asked for comment. Threads, on the other hand, quickly gained online notice, causing Jack Dorsey, one of Twitter’s founders, to post a screenshot of the app’s data policy. Mr. Musk chipped in with a simple “Yeah” in response.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
