Threads has started its operation in Mexico, although it was reported that it could be downloaded first in the United States, on iOS, this July. In fact, it was late Wednesday night when it began to be downloaded by millions of Instagram users, even those who have a direct connection.
From the get-go, users began making comparisons between Elon Musk’s Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads , with many, if not most, choosing the new Meta network, given the latest restrictions Musk placed on it. has put the platform of the little blue bird.
Five things that Threads do not allow Twitter
Connect directly with Instagram
Perhaps this is one of the advantages that Threads has on Instagram: the direct connection with the social network is the most visual of the world. Once downloaded, you can do it directly from your Instagram account, linking even the people you follow there, to your Threads account. The people you follow on Instagram can be the same as the people you follow on Threads, with the obvious possibility of expanding your number of followers and, ultimately, your followers. There is no need to change your user name (if you want to change it is allowed) and also it is necessary to create a community from scratch.
character limit
Quiz this is one of the maxims of Threads: the character limit. Although you also have a limit, it has a margin much greater than Twitter. When Threads allows you 500, Elon Musk’s network only gives you a chance of 250 and if you want more, you have to pay to do it, something that only earns influencers, mass media or public figures who want to The greater visibility that no one can reduce their ideas to only 250 characters.
Contact Blocking
This is another of the cool things that many have announced that they have Threads on Twitter: the contacts that you have blocked on Instagram (and those that you have blocked by something) will also remain blocked on this new red social.
Public Talks: no direct messages
If on Twitter you can establish a direct communication with some user through Direct Messages, better known as DM’s, then you can not do this in Threads and this many users come as an advantage, because any type of message (including those where incitement to hatred) will be visible to all.
No reading history in limited form
If on Twitter you could establish direct communication with a user through Direct Messages , better known as DM’s, in Threads you will not be able to do it and many users see this as an advantage, since any type of message (including those where there are hate speech) will be visible to all.
What do you think Threads? Have you already downloaded it? Does it beat you more than Twitter? Do you see future?
