Holy shit that's why they bundled it in with Instagram? So they can inflate the adoption rate?
This happened to me. Joined threads and what do I see? Signal and instantly had a bunch of random accounts follow me.
I think I'm sticking to Mastodon and Pixelfed.
Of course that's why they had so many new accounts so fast! And that's why removing the Threads account also deletes your Instagram one! No way a bad app like that, missing the basic features (front what I've read in reviews), would have so many users so fast!

I smell an antitrust lawsuit coming up. Whether we hate Twitter or not, they could have a valid case against Meta here as this shit is anti-competitive as fuck. If Elon is smart enough, and that's a big if, he could seize the opportunity to sue Meta over this and win. To just be able to recycle existing Instagram users gives Meta an unfair advantage over existing microblogging social media platforms.
