Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?

Even allowing people to follow that account?

Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

    Of course that’s why they had so many new accounts so fast! And that’s why removing the Threads account also deletes your Instagram one! No way a bad app like that, missing the basic features (front what I’ve read in reviews), would have so many users so fast!

      There’s no way an app with 2 billion accounts couldn’t have 1 percent of it’s users take 30 seconds to sign up for a Twitter alternative they’ve been waiting for? Why is this such a conspiracy to people?

        Because they really like conspiracies. Meta is only the regular level of evil it was before, it’s not a new improved variety of evil.
