So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…

L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.

    Just fyi and not that it matters too much, but I’m pretty sure that if you have an instagram account, you’ve also got a threads account, even if you’ve never used or even seen it, that’s how they got “millions of new members” when they first launched…

    Either way, this is gross, but I’m almost glad they’re going masks off to compete with xitter’s “free speech” because while this is definitely dangerous and scary, I’d rather those who feel the same actually see them for what they really are.

      Yeah, you’re right. When you log in, apparently it prompts you to follow all your instagram friends, and it doesn’t say that they have or don’t have accounts, just that your request is “pending”, like you’re waiting for them to reply.
