They obviously piggy-backed excessively off of Instagram and the limitations are very annoying (at least for now).
I wonder how much of the decision to link Threads so tightly with Instagram was for technical reasons and speed to launch. Because I could also see them wanting to use their Instagram user base to seed the new app, as opposed to their older and probably more conservative Facebook user base.

- bonestamp2 3y agoWhile all of that is true, the real reason is that Threads was actually an instagram feature several years ago that they previously killed off. They were able to bring it back quickly and make some changes to capitalize on twitter's meltdown.
