12 minutes agoThrads: What is it, how can you register and differ from Twitter?
Periskopi(3 years ago)
(3 years ago)More than ten million people have joined the newest social network by Meta Platforms, Threads designed to compete with Twitter platforms in the early hours following its public release Thursday, the company's chief, Mark Zuckerberg, has announced. High numbers of users have been noted despite [...]
High numbers of users have been noted despite Threads' release being postponed into the European Union, while questioning whether the app will respect the EU's strict rules for data privacy.
In Threads, users can post in writing with less than 500 letters and marks and include photographs and videos with a maximum length of 5 minutes. Threads is very much like his rival, Twitter, with short textual content, consent and republic.
The new platform, which is part of the Instagram, allows people to register using their accounts in the Instagram ʹ other registration options for now are not offered.
Currently, access to the Threads can only be done through its app, for the mobile platforms of the OS and Android, while, once, there is no computer version, while Meta has not indicated when he can offer one.
Built by the Instagram team, Threads gives users the opportunity to jump into all the accounts that are already being followed in the Instagram.
Users once cannot find followers from other social platforms. But Meta wants Thrads to be similar to rivals like Mastodon, to be decentralised and to allow users to transfer accounts to other platforms.
In his early hours, Thrads has been criticised for showing numerous posts by ordinary accounts that people do not follow.
Instagram chief Adam Mosser said it was because the Threads are the newly opened network, while warning that a way to see only posts from the accounts the users follow will be offered in the future.
Meta has signaled that it is not intended to take advantage of Thraads this year, but has left open the possibility for future advertising shows.
Threads will be fashioned as Instagram, while the new network will have stricter access than Twitter to nakedness, and will enforce clear rules regarding hate speech, which have been missing on Twitter, since Elon Musk bought it.
The way to send someone a direct message does not exist in the Thrads ʹ and the option, according to its creators, does not come in the future. They say they want to let users communicate privately through existing chat applications. / REL/
