I think it's more lightweight and loads faster than Twitter. There is still room for improvement though before it enters the verse as planned.

I think its a hype for some time but they definitely have some cool stuff like Dark is lit 🔥🔥
@harsh_maheshwari2 Yes. Loads quite fast compared to Twitter.

Hashtags doesn't work. 🥴
Sounds like a rehash. It might go well for some time due to the hype. But it'd be hard to experience steep growth beyond a time without any innovation that attracts people.
If it enables me to download streaming video, it would be better than Twitter!!🤡
@paprika_memes you mean download videos shared by others? or live streaming?
I believe that because of Meta copying and integrating features from their competitors (Snapchat, Twitter and others) they will create a monopoly on social media. Instagram added stories a feature on snapchat that is really popular. Slowly they will make a platform which has everything a user needs. Also they will try to buy everything just like Whatsapp.

I just found out that I can't download it in Europe. As always, thanks, Mark 😆
@nickanisimov Oh. Is it not available to download in Europe?
@chaitanyabadavein @nickanisimov or they are not yet GDPR compliant... that means a lot... smells like 💩

@nickanisimov change your laws.
I don't believe in Mark's projects for a long time — just hype.
@alex_petruchio I wish they would have better focused on what they already have like Facebook and Instagram. Facebook Algorithm is dying.

Defenetly will try, on begening that can be good aquasition channel something like ClubHouse few years past, but I do not think so that Threads will have place between other socials.
Just more one, just a Hype with a clean UX :)
Threads, huh? Well, Meta diving into the micro-blogging world, about time. Interested to see how they'll differentiate from Twitter's well-established territory.
Hey, It looks interesting! I just downloaded and signed up. Also, getting 10 million people sign up within a few hours of launch certainly shows that people are looking for credible alternative to Twitter.
A platform where my friends on Instagram are seeing me talk about work.
@balamurali Why not LinkedIn to talk and share about work? A more professional way & better reach :)
It's young unlike Twitter, and lacks the features of Twitter which the users of the platform like. But it has good potential because it's connected to Instagram too, which is a platform that is used by a lot.
New platforms like Threads add to the digital landscape's vibrancy.
In the same vein, we've launched Lingoedit, a tool that brings AI to language editing and translation.
Feel free to explore...
@oguncsimsek Great. What's the competitive advantage over Google Translator and others?
@yampolsky yeah. Thinking the same. Without clear vision Threads can die over time just like Clubhouse.
I think the search option still needs some work but it seems to be an easy switch for existing twitter users
I think it's very under powered. Not comparable to Twitter at this time. They got millions of sign-ups cause they used Instagram.
They will have early traction but unless they make the app more usable and release a web version they will be a niche product.
@cyriljeet It’s interesting to hear your thoughts on Threads. It seems like there are mixed opinions about the platform. Some people appreciate its simplicity and fast loading times, while others feel that it lacks certain features compared to Twitter. The integration with Instagram seems to be a unique aspect that attracted millions of users in short period of time.
