The feed is cluttered with nonsense posts from Instagram and censorship is rampant, if not totally dystopian. As a result, many early converts are already moving back to Twitter. Meta may make money from Threads, but it is not a substitute for Twitter, nor will it kill it.

It should be noted, however, that the Threads app will suck private data from your smartphone.

Mark Zuckerberg's new Twitter clone, Threads, has already amassed 100 million users since its launch, however, the platform's algorithmic feed and lack of key features have raised questions about its potential to replace Twitter.

Forbes reports that Threads, the new social media platform from Facebook (now known as Meta), has gained 100 million users since its debut, but the platform's algorithmic feed and lack of essential features have cast doubt on its ability to supplant Twitter.

Paul Tassi, a seasoned reporter and savvy social media user, recently shared his experience with Threads in an article for Forbes. "Since around the time Meta launched Threads last week, I decided to try an experiment where I wouldn't tweet for a week, and only post on Threads instead," he said. Despite the initial excitement, Tassi's experiment ended with him returning to Twitter, uncertain about his future with Threads.
