Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?
Even allowing people to follow that account?
Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy with some people? Threads literally and directly explains that it uses your Instagram account. They're the same account. Nothing crazy. No magic. No oogie boogie. Just the same account.
You need to activate the threads account. People are being asked to follow accounts which haven't been activated IE created.
You're missing the point.
Lemmy is your chance to have a discussion without the needless hostility that Reddit et al has. Maybe try saying "I actually find it quite convenient, here's why" etc
It's your chance to derail every conversation into petty social media drama so you can reinforce your fragile superiority complex, that's for sure.
They weren't smug at all. They suggested you not be hostile. It's not a crazy idea.
Thank you. I will. Enjoy your stay.
You're from reddit aren't you?
