In the battle to further copy X/Twitter, Instagram’s Threads may finally be introducing Trends. It seems like every new social network from Mastadon to BlueSky is trying to out-feature each other in the race to be the biggest X clone out there.
What I’d love to see is some innovation in the microblogging app industry. Is that too much to ask for? I mean, Twitter was launched 17 years ago. The most recent innovation has been increasing the character limit from 140 to 280 characters which they did in 2017. Are there honestly no other features these companies can think of adding?!?!
