Threads Vs Twitter : What’s New
Many Twitter users have expressed desire for an alternative since Musk took over the platform late last year. Frequent technical issues and policy changes have sent some noteworthy Twitter users heading for the exits.
Meta has at least one significant advantage to Twitter: the size of its existing user base. Meta is hoping to capture at least some of its more than 2 billion global active Instagram users with the new app. That’s compared to Twitter’s active user base, which is somewhere around 250 million.
The Threads team is working to make their app compatible with the ActivityPub protocol, they will be adding a number of new features to help users continue to discover threads and creators they interested in, including improved recommendations in feed and a more robust search function that makes it easier to follow topics and trends in real time.
Nevertheless twitter still stands out and would take a lot of feature upgrades and policy consistency from threads to beat the old blue bird app community.
Twitter Law Action on Thread: Should you be Worried
Twitter’s Elon Musk said “competition is fine, cheating is not” – but Meta denied claims in a legal letter that ex-Twitter staff helped create Threads. More than 30 million people have signed up for the new app, according to Meta. That is less than a tenth of the estimated 350 million users on Twitter, according to Statista.
As obtained from the BBC world news
Both Mr Musk and Mr Zuckerberg have acknowledged the rivalry over Threads, which is linked to Instagram but works as a standalone app.
As it launched in 100 countries, Mr Zuckerberg broke more than 11 years of silence on Twitter to post a highly popular meme of two nearly identical Spider-Man figures pointing at each other, indicating a stand-off.
Shortly after, and as the word “Threads” trended globally on his platform, Mr Musk said: “It is infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter, than indulge in the false happiness of hide-the-pain Instagram.”

Threads Privacy Concerns
- The new Meta App has received criticism for its link to Instagram accounts. Users must delete their Instagram accounts to delete their Threads account. Adam Mosseri, the chief executive of Instagram, posted on Threads that they were “looking into a way to delete your Threads account separately”.
- Threads.net users cannot disable Meta’s tracking and profiling. Meta delayed its launch in the European Union (EU) because of the EU’s data-use laws, particularly the Digital Markets Act.
- Users of services that use the ActivityPub protocol, such as Mastodon, fear that Meta’s goal with embracing the ActivityPub protocol is to “embrace, extend, and extinguish” it
