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

For me, it’s only place where I can stay connected with my friends
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.
Not sure how DeanSMS works but if you ever lose that phone number to someone else your account is theirs … basically weakening your security
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.
