It’s bad for the animals? Which ones, the ones we eat? Yes dying is quite bad for you. Meat is not bad for us, I guess it is bad for the planet but that is more of a overpopulation problem than meat problem.

Maybe I am too optimistic for my own good lol, but I honestly just think they developed this as fast as they could when they saw the writing on the wall about Twitter. Threads IS Instagram, it was easier and faster to develop this way instead of starting from scratch. That’s why deleting one would delete the other.

Edit: I just wanted to clarify I am in no way defending Meta and I don’t even have an Instagram account. It’s just the way I see it but I admit I can be wrong about this. We’ll see what happens in the coming months/years.

People are overreacting. It is linked to your Instagram account, so it makes sense. You can still deactivate your Threads account if you don’t want to use it but want to keep Instagram.

Me too. I’m betting on Threads being the last nail in the coffin for Twitter. My second bet and extremely unpopular opinion is that Threads will be a good thing for Mastodon.

I do not have an Instagram account and will not be joining Threads either, but i am cautiously optimistic.

I still can’t see any tweets without logging in.

As much as I hate Meta, nothing is worse than Twitter under Musk. I’m hoping it does kill twitter… Doesn’t take much to end twitter right now tbh.

Same issue here so I just went and created an account on lemmy.world which is basically exploding due to a high volume of new users.

Hey all, glad to be here. RIP Bacon Reader :(
