It’s hard to say if Threads will be the real Twitter killer, but the internet is no doubt having fun already.
On Wednesday, Threads launched to the wider public as the latest social media rival to Twitter. The app, made by Meta — the company that owns Facebook — acts as a companion of sorts to Instagram, allowing users to import their username, information, and follow list from there.
Threads was originally supposed to release on July 6, but it seems as if the internet’s overall dissatisfaction with Twitter pushed the release date up a few hours. Over the weekend, Twitter owner Elon Musk angered many users with a new “temporary” reading limit that caused massive outages at the site. Plus, beloved Twitter dashboard Tweetdeck saw some huge changes and is set to go behind a paywall within a month.
With all the doom and gloom on Twitter, it’s no wonder the internet flocked to Threads to test the waters and sow some chaos in its early hours.
