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.

Does anyone remember Google+? When they tried to make everyone with a YouTube account also have a Google+ account.

Spoiler alert: it didn't go well

Add far I remember they did something similar for Facebook/meta/"insert new name here" back then, I remember someone made a lawsuit.

I'm surprised that people think it would be different...

Holy shit that's why they bundled it in with Instagram? So they can inflate the adoption rate?

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.

Shocking

This seemed obvious the moment they said 10m accounts on launch. People aren't that proactive

What fediverse app is this

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.
