When Threads, Meta’s new text-based app, first debuted earlier this month, it
sparked a lot of interest. The idea of enabling people to log in using their
Instagram credentials sparked interest in a novel method of thought expression.
“A Public Square for Communities”
The new Meta-owned site, which offers a different experience from Elon Musk’s
platform, now rebranded as X, surfaced as a potential substitute for Twitter as it
suffered from waning interest among users as a result of rate constraints and
significant changes.
The Instagram director, Adam Mosseri, confirmed the news in an interview with
The Washington Post, but what’s even more intriguing is that the app will soon
support direct messaging (DM), allowing users to talk with one another. Users’

for meaningful connections and interactions was further stoked by the
confirmation.
However, the Instagram CEO had made it clear in a previous interview that Meta
had no plans to displace Twitter with Threads. In its place, the website promised
to act as a “public square for communities on Instagram that never really
embraced Twitter.” Users are anticipating new ways to express their ideas while
keeping the sense of community found on Instagram, which is different from
Twitter’s ecology, following the introduction of the Meta-owned platform.
Benefits of Private Communication
One of the most important features of every social media platform is the capacity
for private communication and interaction with other users. Users were
originally surprised by the absence of DMs on Threads, but Mosseri’s
confirmation is evidence that he was made aware of the request to include the
feature.
Undoubtedly, one of the most important features of any social media platform is
the opportunity to interact and communicate privately with others. The lack of a
direct message (DM) option on Threads first surprised users, but Adam Mosseri
has since announced that this functionality is on the way.
Why Threads is a bigger deal than you think.
Addressing the Core Issue
The Instagram CEO spoke over his team’s aims for the recently launched
platform in an interview with The Washington Post. One of their main focuses is
finding solutions to crucial problems, such making it possible for users to chat
one another inside the app. He emphasised how urgent it is to address these core
issues right away.
Select users of the app now have a feature similar to Twitter that separates their
feeds into “Following” and “For You.” This configuration results in a mix of
postings from following profiles and recommended accounts in the “For You”
section. The “Following” view, on the other hand, chronologically arranges posts
from the users who are being followed.
