A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The launch has had a warm response online, with one person telling the BBC they saw Threads as a "much-needed competitor" to Twitter.

One person said that? Okay, thanks BBC...

I'm also curious if it's accurate to report ten million have joined when (I believe) every Instagram user automatically gets a threads account.

And can't delete it without deleting Instagram, so unless they were deleting Instagram anyways then they will remain a Threads "user".

I had the same thought.
