I wonder though why did they use IG platform and not FB platform? Has FB platform grown so bad that it can't be used for implementing new things anymore?

- skilled 3y agoYoung people don’t use FB as much as they do Instagram. They want hype not a grandma writing a Thread on how she misses the good old days.
- madeofpalk 3y agoInstagram has a better brand for this sort of thing.

- kjkjadksj 3y agoFB and meta are both tarnished names. I’ve had non techies tell me that they are trying this “new twitter app from instagram” vs something made by meta.
- bonestamp2 3y agoToo many people hate Facebook, while Instagram is still relatively cool.
- TechBro8615 3y agoYeah definitely because FB brand is trashed. Instagram still has decent branding and many people don't even realize it's the same company. I also imagine their accounts infrastructure is more app-driven on Instagram and was easier to integrate into a new platform without inheriting ~20 years (wow!) of tech debt from FB.
- threeseed 3y agoBecause Instagram is pseudo-anonymous and Facebook is not. They wanted Twitter users many of whom use pseudoynms to migrate across.
