Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?
Even allowing people to follow that account?
Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.
Not being up on (or caring about) what evil Meta is up to I was wondering how they got 90M users overnight, that splains it.
Yeah I heard about a user whose boyfriend had friends and sent an invite on the app. The only problem, the boyfriend hadn't created a threads account.
What fediverse app is this
This seemed obvious the moment they said 10m accounts on launch. People aren't that proactive
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.
