Threads
Threads is a social media app from Meta, designed to foster discussions on various topics. It integrates with Instagram, allowing users to keep their usernames and automatically follow existing Instagram connections. Features include liking (heart symbol), commenting, and re-threading (similar to retweeting). Early reports suggested a less hostile environment compared to other platforms, with fewer bots and trolls. However, daily active users declined significantly after an initial surge.
