@gaspard_grandperret @gruber I would expect anybody who’s job requires them to know about these things to try it. The thing is, that’s not most people, and not even most people in tech.

@brentsimmons @gaspard_grandperret If Threads were "a Facebook app" instead of “an Instagram app" I wouldn't be trying it -- not least because I've never even had a Facebook account.

But I plainly see and appreciate the reasons why many people don't want anything to do with Instagram either.

@gruber @brentsimmons @gaspard_grandperret Given you can sign into Instagram with a Facebook account, what happens if you try to sign in to Facebook with Instagram details?..

@gruber @brentsimmons @gaspard_grandperret They do have Meta SSO and I wonder why they don’t use it for Threads.

Aren’t we just splitting hairs by calling it an “Instagram app”?

Other than your login “Just working” what is the difference?

@gruber @brentsimmons @gaspard_grandperret you falsely equated the Big Hack story from Bloomberg to Gurman’s rumors for years on Daring Fireball even though they had nothing to do with each other, but joined Threads because it’s Instagram and not Facebook. Incredible.
