    Threads stood as much chance as Google Plus had against Facebook.

    Zuckerfucker using a somewhat similar strategy to artificially boost Threads membership (login with instagram once, you can’t delete your threads account without also deleting the instagram one) speaks volumes.

      I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.

      To clarify, I mean Meta couldn’t be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.

      For what it’s worth, it is now possible to delete your threads account without also deleting your instagram account.
