Threads is Meta's rival to Twitter. Here, you can use your Instagram account and retain your username to engage in the community, join discussions, create posts, and share your thoughts on any topic. In posts, you can write text, insert emojis, and add images or videos. To ensure your privacy, you can make your profile private. You can also restrict who can comment on your posts, choosing between "Anyone", "People you follow", or "People you have mentioned".

Similar to Twitter, you can follow profiles that interest you to see their content in your feed and interact with them. If you follow someone on Instagram, you can also follow their Threads account. By logging into Threads with your Instagram account, you'll see a list of your existing Instagram followers who have joined Threads, and you can choose to follow them or not.

Other similarities between Threads and Twitter include the ability to "like" and "retweet" content, as well as reply directly to it or share the link via private messages. You can also create threads and post all your messages at once.

Threads utilizes ActivityPub, an open-source protocol that enables decentralized social media implementation. This protocol is also used by other social media platforms, such as Mastodon. It provides users with greater control over their data and privacy, and it allows for interconnection between different platforms that use it, enabling you to interact with an even wider audience.
