Don’t sign up for Threads if you have an Instagram account. Both accounts will be linked and you won’t be able to delete without deleting the other. Remember it’s all about tracking your every move and selling your profile to advertisers!

You cannot unlink? At all…? Your threads account is permanent *_* ?

Hopefully this backfires and the Instagram community nukes themselves
Why would anyone with 2cents of brain touch anything FB related? Ppl are so so lazy...
I see it as a Instagram feature. Not a new account. That’s why you can’t delete it. You can turn it off, delete all your posts, etc. it’s just another Instagram feature. I think that’s the disconnect.

Because of recipes and content like art and things that make the world halfway liveable. Catvideos, dogvideos beautiful photography of nature…
I linked my instagram to Threads because I was preserving my ID of DeanSMS from being used by others. I have done this with most social apps. Of course, I logoff of such and don't return except in a blue moon.
good point. I am making a note to always change telelphone number / email address before changing them. thanks.
I only rmpt my live-streams to Facebook for my former classmates and relatives enjoyment. Occasionally, I check out what they posted to meta.
Highly unlikely that Zuck will suceed. Its like Bing tried to compete with Google back in the days.
