Description

Say more with Threads — Instagram’s text-based conversation app.

Threads is where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow. Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favorite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.

A few things you can do on Threads…

■ Access your Instagram followers
Your Instagram username and verification badge are reserved for you. Automatically follow the same accounts you follow on Instagram in a few taps, and discover new accounts too.

■ Share your point of view
Spin up a new thread to express what's on your mind. This is your space to be yourself, and you control who can reply.

■ Connect with friends and your favorite creators
Jump to the replies to get in on the action and react to commentary, humor and insight from the creators you know and love. Find your community and connect with people who care about whatever it is you’re interested in.

■ Control the conversation
Customize your settings and use controls to manage who can see your content, reply to your threads, or mention you. Accounts you’ve blocked will carry over from Instagram, and we’re enforcing the same Community Guidelines to help ensure everyone interacts safely and authentically.

■ Find ideas and inspiration
From TV recommendations to career advice, get answers to your questions or learn something new from crowd-sourced conversations, thought leaders and industry experts.

■ Never miss a moment
Stay on top of the latest trends and live events. Whether it’s about new music, movie premieres, sports, games, TV shows, fashion, or the latest product releases, find discussions and receive notifications any time your favorite profiles start a new thread.

■ Leap into the fediverse
Threads is part of the fediverse, a global, open, social network of independent servers operated by third parties around the world. Servers share information with each other to enable people to connect and discover new things across the fediverse.

So much better than Twitter

So I was banned for Twitter for speaking the truth and had to fall back on Threads and I’ve been so pleased with the community I found. The app was a little rough at first, but it’s gotten so much better and now I honestly enjoy it more than Twitter and the best part is the community is so much better.

Now I like getting into arguments with people I disagree with because that is how we learn and grow as people, but when all the people are white nationalists are worse it’s really hard to find a good community and that’s all that’s left on Twitter now. Thread is a much better place and I am so happy to be a part of it and that’s why I took the time to leave this review. Because if you’re thinking about leaving Twitter, the time is now in fact, it’s far past time get out of that place and go threats, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Try to avoid

Despite being named threads this app really does just have the worst comment threading/stacking function, making it impossible to follows people’s replies or conversations. It also just seems to be filled with all the people from twitter who post the most click-baity nonsense designed to generate engagement (“what’s your worst airplane story?” “I’m not visiting places where they say they don’t want tourists anymore, what do you think?”. The truly hateful people from twitter/X seem to be gone at least, but what remains are the most annoying people who either (deliberately?) misunderstand everything, comment to just say the person starting the thread are stupid/wrong, or just tell the most boring dad anecdotes about their day but act like it’s some deep philosophical insight.

I occasionally cave and download threads so I can read an interesting looking post advertised through instagram but by the time the app downloads instagram will refresh and I can’t see the ad for the post to click on it again anyway. I’ll then briefly scroll on threads, get annoyed by the banal/inane nonsense, leave and uninstall again.
