Did I scroll it religiously?
In fact, after my first week, it didn’t seem particularly usable.
What is Instagram Threads?
Threadsis a social media platform owned byMeta, and it operates a lot likeX(formerly Twitter).
It’s alsovery tightly tied to Instagram.
You must use an Instagram account to create a Threads profile.
It seemed to come out of nowhere.
This was really annoying and made it seem useless to follow anyone.
On the plus side, you’re able to make tags pretty long.
GIFs Make Everything Better
You couldnt add GIFs to a Threads post until October 2023.
This made the site less entertaining, in my opinion.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that make you realize what you were missing.
Threads still has room for improvement (can we get DMs, already?)
but the platform has shown a willingness to take user feedback and make things better.
It’s also worth noting that you still need to have an Instagram account to use Threads.
