One Twitter user expressed their dissatisfaction with the absence of a following tab on Threads, stating that they would uninstall the app. This tweet caught the attention of two major figures in the tech industry, Elon Musk and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Interestingly, they both took the opportunity to criticize Meta and Threads.
Dorsey pointed out that it’s not surprising that Threads lacks the option to remove the algorithm, citing Instagram as an example. In response, Musk highlighted the problems with a closed source, algorithm-only system, emphasizing how it enables undetectable manipulation of the information people see.
Meta’s Response
Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, joined the conversation and shared a screenshot on Threads. He assured users that both Instagram and Facebook offer chronological feeds and that Threads will also introduce this feature. Currently, Threads does not have a chronological feed. It’s worth noting that Instagram and Facebook already provide users with the option to view their feeds chronologically, contradicting Dorsey’s argument. It is interesting to mention that BlueSky, a Twitter alternative supported by Dorsey, has been around for some time but remains an invite-only platform.
Threads has gained significant traction, with over 50 million people signing up and nearly 100 million posts shared within just 48 hours of its launch. This success has not gone unnoticed by Mosseri and his team. Mosseri acknowledged the excitement surrounding the app but emphasized that the true test lies in whether users will continue to find value in Threads over time.
