Meta has launched its new social media platform, Threads. For now, it's only been released in hundreds of countries outside the EU, as the EU's privacy regulations are too strict for Meta's new Twitter rival.

I will let you know when I have a chance to download the app. Also, it might be a little while before they actually open up for federation with the rest of ActivityPub.

There was another comment on this yesterday: https://calckey.social/notes/9go03cmanlyib3x3

It might look like that feature will be released later.

I'm not sure yet 🤷

@grishka@mastodon.social
Not that I know of yet

Yes, but it is not available to download in Norway either.

I'm not sure yet. Very very few, it seems. Still, this is an indication that Threads might be right around the corner.

Meta has started rolling out Threads, the Twitter competitor that was previously known under project names such as Barcelona and P92.

For now, it's only available in a few countries: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.barcelona

Here are some pictures of what we can expect.

You're so damn right! This is something different, something better. I like microblogging. Short, small and meaningful conversations.

Think of the internet as a city. Big social media? They're like the bustling main street with fancy coffee shops and restaurants. But the fediverse? It's the rest of the city, with unique local coffee shops. Niche at first, but it'll go mainstream.

I believe the fediverse will house countless niche communities, surpassing big social media in total. It's a whole new world, connecting people based on shared interests. Exciting times ahead!
