Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has stated that while Twitter is “often imitated,” its community “can never be duplicated.”
She made this statement after Mark Zuckerberg announced that 30 million users had joined the newly launched Threads app on just the first day.
He positioned the app as a “friendly” competitor to Twitter, which Elon Musk purchased in October.
According to experts, Threads could appeal to Twitter users who are dissatisfied with recent platform modifications.
Threads allows users to publish up to 500 characters and is similar to Twitter in many ways.
Mr. Zuckerberg previously stated that maintaining the platform “friendly… will ultimately be the key to its success.”
Mr. Musk, on the other hand, remarked, “It is infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter than to indulge in the false happiness of hide-the-pain Instagram.”
The launch has received positive feedback online and seems to be a “much-needed competitor” to Twitter.
