Feels like they were too eager to scoop up Twitter refugees. The platform is still missing basic features and new users turn away immediately. Nobody’s going to join a platform and then keep their account open for 6 months while the platform plays catch-up. The launch would have been much more successful if they waited another month. I understand this is a peak time to capture former Twitter users, but in the long run it may have been a mistake. Will be interesting to see how they market it as things develop.

You can't close your account without also closing your Instagram account so that might make it more sticky.

You can still deactivate account separately. Looks like they’ll eventually get some proper delete functionality: https://www.threads.net/t/CuXRXDdNOtH/
