Threads is joining the crowded social media landscape as Twitter undergoes numerous changes.
Threads, a social media app from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, will be available for download Thursday. "Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what'll be trending tomorrow," a description of the app says. After a person writes a"thread," there are options to heart, comment and share the thread. Users will also have options to limit who can see a thread.
Elon Musk purchased Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion. Musk said he wanted Twitter to be a place where free speech can thrive. However, he's been criticized for propping up conspiracy theories and what some consider hate speech. Users have also complained about service disruptions. In May, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis planned to kick off his presidential campaign on Twitter, but the announcement was marred by technical difficulties. On Saturday, users were alerted that they had exceeded their rate limit.
Musk wrote that Twitter implemented how many tweets a person can see in a day to"address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation." Whether Threads is a legitimate threat to Twitter remains to be seen. Twitter reportedly has around 372 millions users. Instagram, which will apparently be linked to Threads, has over 2 billion active users. Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com
